JavaScript has type annotations, they're called Typescript.

And this doesn't seem to be sold as an automated way to convert JS code to TS (which would be really useful). It seems like they intend for you to stick to pure JS code which makes no sense really.

> at some point it would 'blow up your face' anyway

I'm not sure exactly what you're saying but yes you do need to annotate the types of functions. Global type inference is possible but it has performance issues, makes type errors way harder to debug and obscures the intent of code. Types are a part of your interface. They should be stated, not inferred.

I would rather things didn't blow my face up.

Yep. I've also won awards and have published a paper (co-authored) but I imagine if I were to create a wiki entry it would be deleted under the same exact standards.
Yeah definitely. Typescript is passable, even has some decently cool stuff like discriminating unions which would be nice to have more widespread. The tooling however is just awful.

I'm trying to make it palatable with Bazel + rules_js/rules_ts and pnpm but even so still end up needing Babel and Webpack because browsers are a thing. This stack does make the build times somewhat more reasonable and actually manages to avoid too much wasted work locally/CI but boy does it take a lot of work to get done.

The time I'm investing in making a Typescript monorepo viable will pay off but only when compared to not implementing my changes and staying with TS, the comparison to simply not using the stack and using something better to solve our non-Typescript specific business problems would rather lopsided.

I guess that's what I get for only looking at the top page of Google Scholar results for 'Palmer quantum chaos climate'. However, Palmer's view on quantum systems does seem to be pretty set and fairly ideological in nature (i.e. experimental verification doesn't seem to be much of a concern). For example:

(2005) "Quantum Reality, Complex Numbers, and the Meteorological Butterfly Effect "

https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/86/4/bams-86...

> "By considering an idealization of the upscale cascade (which provides a novel representation of complex numbers and quaternions), a case is made for reinterpreting the quantum wave function as a set of intricately encoded binary sequences. In this reinterpretation, it is argued that the quantum world has no need for dice-playing deities, undead cats, multiple universes, or “spooky action at a distance.”"

At this point, I think anyone pushing this view of how QM works without experimental results to back it up is just tilting at windmills.

> “People assume girls don’t choose science because they’re not inspired,” Wade, 33, said in a recent interview. “Girls are already interested.

When I worked in the math department, most scientists were male. However, the biology and chemistry departments had way more female scientists than male. So how does this correlate that "the science does not inspire girls"?

TBH, I'm happy we have listed lesser-known scientists on Wikipedia, no matter what gender they are, but there should be some line. In the science community, a number of citations or h-index show how productive you are, and those above some X value should have a place in Wikipedia. Gender neutral, of course.

Also, the article dabbles between girls and students of color - is this about women scientists, a clickbait article, or does the author have some identity crisis?

As someone said here, she is hurting Wikipedia's credibility. Recently I spoke with some high schoolers about "how they are lucky to have Wikipedia these days" and they mentioned that their teachers are actively dropping Wikipedia as an information source for being too unreliable. So I'm guessing, inflating numbers to prove something doesn't benefit anyone in the long run.

You seem to be very sure about knowing what I can or cannot grasp. You wield this sentence as some kind of weapon against me but the fact is you are not presenting any arguments.

Humanity has shown that it can do a lot if it just wants.

Look at the scale of world wars where large part of world's output was converted to war effort because we just didn't like the idea of being conquered by Nazis.

The great pyramid of Giza is 0.2% of cubic kilometers and it was literally built with sticks and rope, for vanity, with relatively few people.

Your claim that humanity can't crush a bunch of cubic km of rock and spread over vast areas of land when faced with existential crisis is shortsighted.
I fully agree. Played around with Bun quite a bit, but any benchmark is meaningless until it has all the features and stability to have it production ready. Until then it's just a promising (and very respectful) start - but nothing more.

The problem isn't Wikipedia though, it's Google's inability to filter all of the modern SEO crap from search results.

If Wade made a website/wiki today, it's not going to be stifled in Google results by Wikipedia. It's going to be stifled by all of the meaningless, useless content-farm or even AI-generated junk, plus ads, that Google puts at the top.

I'm not saying that filtering that stuff is easy or even achievable for Google. But the problem is not the fact that Wikipedia exists, it's the absolutely overwhelming amount of junk that is not really operating in good faith but that is really good at getting ranked in searches.
Take about anything you like of minimum level C# 6. My personal gripe being poor adoption of tuples/anonymous types and records.

C# has been trending towards introducing more things from the functional paradigm in particular, but just getting away from typical OOP patterns and replacing them with something more on the spot or functional isn't amazingly well received. The main thing which seems very well adopted is LINQ, and that's primarily due to Entity Framework and Microsoft pushing LINQ-adoption hard. Most places still program in C# as if it were Java with Lombok built-in.

And that's where I'm getting at mostly. New paradigms and languages are cool, but historically it's been difficult for them to get mass adoption unless a big name is pushing for it hard. Convergence has been the name of the game for a while now, rather than divergence.

I'm not sure why BBC finds it so fascinating that the Moors were able to dig ditches and channel water through them 500 years after the Romans had built highly advanced aqueducts in Spain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqueduct_of_Segovia, https://fascinatingspain.com/place-to-visit/the-best-of/the-...). All I can guess is that some civilizations are more in vogue than others. In fact when the Moors invaded Spain, they destroyed much of the Roman infrastructure in a fit of religious fanaticism so a great deal of it has been lost.

IIRC, PizzaTool was also available for OpenWindows on SunOS 4.1.1 or so, on `sun4c`.

PizzaTool was probably what inspired me to make the (much lesser) LunchTool, which was an XView UI to a database of lunch places near my employer. It printed snazzy formal invitation signs (using PostScript), for wherever the amorphous lunch group would be going that day.

(Learning PS by displaying on OpenWindows was much easier than huffing from a laser printer, and the Adobe blue and red PS books that Sun bundled were great.)
The other big C# ecosystem is Unity Engine with its own frameworks and plugins. It lags a bit behind Windows, and might be one reason why some C# developers seem to be behind the times when it comes to new language features.

Edit: The other reason Unity developers are careful around new language features is avoiding memory allocations. When you write C# like it was Java it's more straightforward to see where allocations happen but it's all too easy to accidentally write allocations in your main loop if you use everything the language has to offer.

Definition of software engineering I got from DuckDuckGo: The application of scientific and mathematical principles to practical ends such as the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems.

> "Being able to understand the business of the customer and create software that helped them do that easier."
I don't consider that software 'engineering' necessarily.

Economical and efficient processes and systems to help someone figure out how to do their business would seem to fall under that definition, no?. I’m curious if you did attend engineering school because part of my curriculum in being part of an accredited engineering curriculum was classes that explored what it’s like being an engineer. You have to prioritize public safety first, integrity of being an engineer second, making sure the business succeeds and providing your advice third.

I disagree with OP in that learning languages does help you be a better engineer. It broadens your exposures to different ideas and cost effective ways to write code to solve those problems so that you can make better recommendations. That’s equally as important (perhaps even more in the beginning of a career) to being a well rounded engineer as is understanding business needs and matters enough that dismissing it as “I could do the same thing in Bash” kind of misses the forest through the trees because technology choices to impact cost to build, test, maintenance, ability to hire talent, cost to train people, etc etc.

Maybe it helps if you think of it this way:

An application can be very imperfectly thought of as having two bodies of logic, frontend logic and backend logic. In an SPA, if you secure the backend logic you are safe no matter what mistakes are made in the frontend. When rendering server-side HTML, the frontend logic and backend logic both run in a privileged security context. The attack surface area is larger.

A good deal of this appears, in my opinion, to be the press release overselling what has been done in research with their employees involved now being published in Nature.
The function on physical and physiological levels has largely been well understood and that knowledge still stands in the light of this publication.

What the researchers are reporting appears to be a more detailed structural description of this sensory protein complex, and the additional structure information combined with simulations of known physics and chemistry in turn suggests additional detail about of how the "signal" occurs on the molecular level.

Disclaimer that I didn't take time to read the whole thing now, but that's the gist of it from summaries and skimming.

It is, with little doubt, some valuable pieces of information in the context Collective Knowledge of Mankind, and keeping large, complex, multipart molecular machines like this reasonably stable and normal for examination is arduous work, so I don't mean to denigrate the studies or the scientific paper, but as so often the way this is being spun in the press release is regrettable.
