I can't believe the quantity of Chinese output would be lower for instance: it's not the same quality and doesnt focus on the same subjects, but it's a lot of people talking and writing about lots of stuff, for a lot longer, no?

You forget how impoverished the vast majority of Chinese speakers have been for the history of the printed word. The US by itself still publishes more original works every year than China, though it's a shrinking gap.
As with LTA, he’s pushing the humanitarian applications of airships, having entered into a partnership with the World Food Program that he hopes will eventually see his invention delivering food to famine-struck regions.

Interesting, this is the same motivation the financial backer of the AEREON 7 had. While the AEREON 7 never materialized, a scaled down test aircraft known as the AEREON 26 flew, and demonstrated the possibility of building a hybrid airship/airplane. The book "The Deltoid Pumpkin Seed" describes the efforts of the AEREON corporation's attempt and failure to bring airships back into the mainstream of aviation. History seems to be repeating itself here.

I would love to see airships return, and there are many possibilities today that didn't exist in the late 19th and early 20th century. However, like supersonic flight for the masses, it doesn't seem likely to ever return to the aviation mainstream.
Maybe you’ve had bad experiences with them in the past, but I haven’t so far (other than seats and refunds as I mentioned). I’d suggest giving them another shot if you have a chance and they’re cheaper (maybe try a shorter flight first). Post-pandemic I’ve found them pretty pleasant to fly with.

I feel like I’m reading more manuals than ever. Libraries, CLI tools and other specialized software have well written and very useful docs. Same with pro camera software, music gear software, and more.

For “consumer” software I usually don’t need manuals, I can find what I need via poking; this often includes power user features (when I use something sufficiently often).

Is it possible that what you’re feeling is nostalgia? Have you actually read the manual for your phone?
Just because it’s a different syntax than you’re used to reading in another language doesn’t make it ugly. If you’re used to reading it and work in the language regularly, it actually looks quite clean.

Well, that's what he says he did.

Why would he need an "AI which scraped public Instagram photos"? You can just ask Instagram for photos tagged "Times Square" and get loads of them. Totally unnecessary to teach an AI what Times Square looks like when there are a bazillion tagged photos of Times Square being posted every hour. Maybe you need a lot of them, but "bulk scraping lots of Instagram posts" isn't exactly AI.

Interesting concept thanks
I’m kind of in this boat. I’ve been doing this for 25 years now (jeez). Mentoring a dev with 6 to 8 years experience is a pain in the butt (yes. I know. Not all of you).

While I’ve got a pretty good memory, a lot of the times I don’t have a direct or complete answer for their question. I’ll have a tingle of a memory that is similar to their question. So I’ll give them that as a starting point and tell them how I’d approach the solving the problem. But they get frustrated that I didn’t solve their problem immediately. That I can’t point them at a blog post of Stack Overflow answer.

But a dev with 1 to 3 years experience? They’ll take that non-answer and run with it.

And I get it. The 1 to 3 probably has 1 maybe 2 tasks they’re working on. The 6 to 10 (to 15) has probably a half dozen things they’ve got to keep track of. Researching is probably pretty low on their list.

Intel or AMD? Intel removed S3 support from the platform entirely, and S0ix support was spotty until recent kernels/distros. Lenovo royally screwed up the AMD firmware, so kernel 5.18 includes a hack to force-suspend the NVMe subsystem regardless of what their broken ACPI handler wants to do.

Hibernation with secure boot is actually disabled because of "kernel lockdown", which most distros leave enabled. I feel like the security people push these patches through and dismiss user needs by waving the "hibernation is impossible to secure and standby is good enough" flag, and we have to live with a broken feature set compared to Windows. It's not a great attitude to have, from the user standpoint anyway.

> Have you actually read the manual for your phone?

I have, and it’s abysmal, because it doesn’t make any attempt at explaining anything on a conceptual level, or even explaining basic UI elements. It doesn’t teach you how to interpret what you see on the screen. It does the bare minimum of enumerating the steps to activate a given feature, presuming that you are able to match those descriptions to what you see on the screen (there are barely any screenshots) and that you know why you would want to use that feature in the first place. It also doesn’t address any failure modes, and doesn’t discuss relevant considerations regarding the use of the given feature.

> Whatever ethos you imagine Rust developers uniquely have

They tend to seem more of the type to go on strike, form a union, or leave a job because of political views.

Right, i'm saying I think at least more experienced rust developers would refuse to work in that environment.

They seem like they would risk more of their own well-being for ethical reasons, for better or worse.

I suppose if Volvo started depending on highly socially conscious domain experts and had a choice between changing working conditions and ditching rust though, they'd change the latter.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but experienced C programmers seem to be more conservative "don't mix politics and programming" types.
I had a X1C bought early 2018 and it had great battery life. And I generally was happy with it. Unfortunately it got stolen (luckily I had full disk encryption). Without much investigation I took a X1C again. This time it was a 7th gen. It had HiDPi display which was a bit of pain to have all apps working with a satisfactory resolution and the battery life is much poorer than before. I would take my older one back right away if I could.

Edit: The author uses an 11 year old machine. Not a surprise it works well. With all the new stuff the vendors introduce difficulties are much more common. I hear a lot of complaints from colleagues with Thunderbolt docks, the newest Intel camera generation has no Linux support, not that much has changed. Whether it's 2 steps forward and 1 step back or the other way round is debatable.
I’m using engineers as a California-specific example of upper middle class people (given the reference to Peter Thiel below). Sweden, and every other European country, pays for its welfare system by taxing middle class people. That makes sense because middle class people have most of the money. Facebook’s payroll is much bigger than the investment Zuckerberg makes every year. They don’t sit around complaining that we can’t have social services because the billionaires won’t pay for it.
It's more of a chance than the norm, then.

My Dad's Lenovo Ideapad comes with a soft-raid of two SSDs for example, since a faster and twice bigger would be much more pricey.

Also, I've seen non-standard GPUs, tons of broken BIOS tables, vendor specific devices with weird quirks and whatnot over the years.

Maybe these things still happen but newer kernels know how to deal with this better, I don't know.
Mostly likely it's neither, and the problems we notice is due to a very biased sample.

We don't see the many thousands who solve problems quietly, and even when we see them we tend to make note only of the most unskilled ones.

Compounding this with the fact that all over the world more people are motivated to learn and work in IT we are simply bound to see more extreme outliers.

> Bidens mental decline isn’t even a partisan thing at this point is it?

Unfortunately, it very much is a partisan allegation - one I find poorly sourced.

> Bidens refusal to engage with the press has been a constant frustration

From your source:

>> The one measure where Biden has outpaced the men who came before him is in informal question and answer sessions – of which he has done 216 compared with 120 for Trump and just 46 for Obama.

That doesn't scream "mental decline" to me: informal Q&A's are less structured and more mentally taxing (broader topics, so coaching & prep don't help as much). In the clips I've encountered, Biden sounds very lucid, and very off-the-cuff.
maybe it's true for development, though unlikely :)

A factor in all of this is how familiar we get with our phones.

Your alternative was already attempted with Windows 98.

I don't agree with the implication that "the phone makes them look" is not a valid reason. The term "dark pattern" is 12 years old at this point, and we have had plenty of evidence that software companies are explicitly optimizing for engagement and using findings from psychology to do so.

So much for things working on older laptops, my 6ish years old Asus as some weird Intel BT chip that has completely broken drivers on Ubuntu. Not as in that they can't be built or installed, but the damn thing keeps fucking disconnecting and reconnecting every few seconds. It literally would've been better if they hadn't bothered.

But also like in general, at least anyone making any new protocol or standard can rest easy knowing that they cannot possibly fuck up worse than IEEE making the bluetooth spec.

I checked Kroger's website, which had some strange problems. You can't sort by lowest price and there are approximately 2.5k results for "milk". The "dietary preferences" filter does not include "lactose intolerant" or anything equivalent for milk alternatives, despite all milk alternatives being in the search results. The only one that looked genuinely useful (but not for me) was "Gluten free".

That being said, I did a price check and found that soy milk was not cheaper than regular milk. Kroger milk is $3.29 for 1gal and soymilk is $2.59 for 0.5gal.

Well, it'd be fairly easy to test: teach a first year coding course, give one group python and the other group APL, and monitor the grades and the drop rate.

I can't prove it, but I'm highly confident that python would win. Because it has a lot of analogies to things people already know:

- In simple cases, you can read it as a set of commands, like a recipe. People are familiar with recipes

- Syntax mostly uses well know words (or abbreviations of well known words), or very simple symbols that you'd pick up in basic math (+,-, *, comma, etc.)

- Variable names make clear what the result of a particular expression maps back to in the real world (ideally)

- The whitespace indented structure of the code is fairly obvious if you've ever written an outline

APL has...

- Unfamiliar symbols

- Terse, confusing names

I mean, look at this example for getting the average from a list of numbers:

{(+⌿⍵)÷≢⍵}

Since I don't know greek or math particularly well, in my head I read that as "plus minus sign with a slash through it and curly w divided by triple equals curly w with a slash through it". I'm nowhere.

Here's the python code:

def average(numbers): return sum(numbers) / len(numbers)

I couldn't write that if I didn't know python, but if I had never written a line of code in my life I could give you a decent guess as to what it does. Is it verbose? I guess in character count, but not in any meaningful sense.

You're right, familiarity IS why python is easier to understand. But it's not programming familiarity, it's that almost every aspect of it is more familiar. The only people that (might) find APL more familiar are mathematicians in my opinion, and they could easily understand python.
