The British certainly went in big with propaganda. On the other hand, the Louvain library didn't burn itself. At least during the initial war of movement, the German army seems to have had mediocre fire discipline and imagined the franc-tireurs to be responsible for what were really friendly fire incidents. They did shoot some number of people and burn some number of towns.

Not true. IBM was one of the top 10 most profitable companies in the world as recently as 2015.

After adjusting for real inflations rates, inclusive of asset inflation, they actually made greater profits some years then either Google or Meta or Amazon do today.
Ah yes, the good ol' Linux "You're holding it wrong" mantra.

Look, I don't know about you, but I don't have unlimited time to go fiddle with whatever emulation layer is there to make some game from 2017 work well on a modern Mac. Not only that, but Apple has proven, time and time again, that they completely do not care about backwards compatibility, which is crucial for games, so let's not pretend that the "manufacturer" (assuming you're talking about the game developers here) is at fault - nobody has unlimited time to adjust their product on the whims of the folks in Cupertino.

Here's the reality - on Windows, I can still play DOS games. On macOS, with the latest OS release, 90% of my Steam library cannot be used (that were all perfectly fine before the update) because Apple decided to remove support for 32-bit apps. So sticking to Windows for gaming is the logical choice if you want access to the latest and greatest titles and not a selection of a few that are "hacked around".
Google seems bound and determined to make their user experience on Apple products as painful as possible, perhaps in the misguided belief that if we see how awful their products are, we'll want to switch to their native operating system.

Main effect for me has been to drop them like a steaming deuce, but not everyone has the luxury.
Nope there are only three computer models to choose from and that we support. The iPad Pro was added as a 4th option based on a higher admin recommendation (not in IT ). However we are now back to supporting 3 models.
100% this, what ends up happening is product wedges themselves between business and technical so they wield the power due to having business' ear, and any attempt by technical to communicate directly with business is met with severe reactions.

The thing to understand is that very likely your technical people are smarter than your product people. In addition, part of software development is being able to identify what needs to be solved. Any developer with a modicum of experience knows how to do this.

Just as you have a technical leader on the team, you need a technical architect on the team. That person can interface with the business or the business analyst (or both) as needed.

separate teams is a degenerate case for strong software development.

I once literally had a business person ask "who should be involved in this conversation" and my response was "product and technical so we can advise". Product responded after me with "Product" and the lack of technical there was deafening.

It becomes a power play, the theory of the different departments works out about as well as putting a racist and a black man in a room to collaborate on race relations.
Yes but your employer needs to sponsor you for a green card, and they don't really have any incentive to do so (since once you have the green card you don't have to work for them anymore).
Excel is almost guaranteed to be a terrible fit for iPad. Data import/export has always been a weak point with the iOS and the many of the use cases for Excel are data crunching. If you are pulling out the keyboard and mouse regularly then a laptop seems less awkward.

What do you mean near-zero? You said that inotify doesn't work (and ned14 offers his comments about it). If you are using polling, I do not understand how your approach could be using non-zero amount of resources. Let's say you are monitoring a directory with 1 million files, how can you store the state in less than 20MB of memory (which is about the most optimistic lower bound that I can think of)? What is your secret sauce? Do you mean there is no overhead beyond the baseline watcher? But what about the overhead of the baseline watcher itself?

For what it's worth, in spite of ned14's comments, I have never seen inotify fail in practice (except for if it hits the os file descriptor limits in which case it does fail noisily). The tool I wrote uses inotify for linux. It is used by thousands of developers every day as part of an editor integration and there are no open issues about dropped file events.

Your time frame is probably about right. It took me about a year to work through all the edge cases.
Well... thanks but no !

Knowing about the virus ahead of time wouldn’t help much. By far the most expensive (in time and money) part of a publicly available vaccine is testing it. It is impossible to test a vaccine under any reasonable procedure we have today before the virus is a full blown pandemic.

The best case scenario for putting this kind of research into practice is saving two weeks off a months or years long development schedule. It might not even work. Frankly the risk reward trade off here is so laughably bad that I can’t understand why it’s even a debate.

If clean energy sources are strategic, yeah the US should do the work to protect its ability to utilise it regardless of it being oil, solar, wind, nuclear. Doesn't mean the state needs to own those ventures, just that they should put in the effort to fund investment and growth in strategic areas.

MS is somewhat unusual in that they are, in some sense, "about" providing a platform but not really capable of consistently knocking it out of the park hardware-wise.
I'm not above doing any work that's morally ok but salary is only part my compensation for a job. I'm also paid in skill growth and career opportunities. I'm not going to get better by cleaning fridges, so asking me to do chores all the time is short-changing me even if the money is good (for this point in my career).

If I were employed at a place that did not let me work on high-impact high-visibility roles, I'd move to somewhere that did as soon as possible.

(Unless I was already where I wanted to get in my career)
Yup. That's why I don't use iMessage. :)
You were a professional software engineer in the Soviet Union while still being a high school student? Or do you mean to say that you were one in the 1940s, when people were packed into train cars to bring in the harvest, among other things?

Something about this doesn't seem to entirely add up, given that workers in government and defense-critical industries weren't exactly rounded up a la carte to work the fields. Not when there was a dedicated class of kolhozniks that were paid next to nothing, and couldn't really leave the countryside for better jobs in the cities.

But now that you mention it, I would pay good money to see the likes of Peter Thiel spend a few weeks a year picking strawberries, or filling grocery bags, or piloting a shitbarge up the Hudson river along with the rest of us.

I watched it. Disclaimer: I have actually read the Silmarillion where the material comes from (decades ago), as well as the other books and seen all the movies (even that cartoon one). I wanted to like it; I'm sure some people did.

It's very pretty; the set and cgi folks deserve cudos and awards. The writing is...not so good. It varies from occasionally cringeworthy to mostly bland, but never inspiring. The characters are mostly unmemorable (imo the main Dwarven characters are the only ones I look forward to). They even managed to make orcs just meh. The story hasn't gelled to any extent for me, maybe that's for the next season. Indeed the whole thing seemed to be "let's carpet bomb the audience with new characters and disparate events for 8 episodes...and we'll figure out what to do with it next season". Or maybe it's because the Silmarillion is really not material that will ever translate well to film. And we know how all the bog story archs turn out in the end, so there's not even much anticipation for the next bit of it.

H1-B is dual intent. After six years in the US as an H1B worker, you can become eligible to apply for a US Green Card, which will allow you to remain in the USA indefinitely. However due to the backlogs in priority dates for some categories, you could potentially be in H-1B status for 10-20 years while waiting for your priority date to become current. But you can keep renewing using AC21 provisions in the meantime.
not all the rules are in the HOA booklet. For example, ours doesn't say anything about banning vegetables in the front yard, not a single rule. And yet, if we even so much as grow fava beans, the HOA will say we can't do that due to the catch all rule: "No unplanned modifications". It's all up to the HOA directors mood and discretion. And while you may currently have a reasonable HOA board, that can quickly change with just one election.

Not having tag hierarchies doesn't fix the difficulty of classification, it just handwaves it away. There will always need to be (super)tags that are collections of other tags, where it is a bug for an item that has a particular tag to not also have another, related tag. The question should be how you're going to handle that, not if you're going to handle it, or you'll end up with a lot of broken tags of dubious usefulness.

Tags are just dumb strings that label data, but tags are also data. If I can't label tag:"red" a tag:"colored" in your system, it's not great. It's not much better if I'm labeling things tag:"colored-red" because if I'm doing that and there's no central validation to add semantics to that relationship, I'm going to end up with tag:"red" things, tag:"colored" things, tag:"colored-red" things, and probably even tag:"color-red" and tag:"red-color" things.

edit: what's so bad about cycles when it comes to a tag being assigned another tag that has been assigned the original tag? It's just a mutual implication. There's nothing wrong to me with adding a single tag and seeing five more added automatically. It means that you're building a knowledge base.
> This was never the case in any large city.

It is (was?) the case in my large (500k+) city in the 90's at least. If you were lacking all forms of identification to get an ID, you could use a neighbor or family member who had an ID to vouch for you.

I do believe it was the vouch + another form of identification, but I distinctly recall having to do this for a replacement ID when I couldn't find my papers after a move.

I disagree, I think there are 4 good GSuite apps on iPadOS: GMail, Meet, Calendar, and Drive.

With the magic floaty keyboard, even long emails feel fine on iPad.

Unfortunately, Docs, Slides & Sheets are pretty terrible, and fall far short of the desktop experience. For those apps, a Chromebook would be a much better choice. If only they made Chromebooks with trackpads as good as Apple's laptops, or even as good as the magic floaty keyboard.
Creating a vaccine was not the purpose of this research.

The problem with new variants is that it takes months to know how virulent and how transmissible it is. Such research enables better prediction from the point of detecting and sequencing such variants.

We know now that Omicron's spike protein is responsible for the better transmission and better immunological evasion. If we see a new variant with Omicron's spike protein, but modified, we can first of all tell it's going to be better at evasion. If there are changes in parts that are highly selected, it's probably more transmissive. If that part is less selected-for (there are ways to tell from the sequence) we have a clue that it is probably a little less transmissive. We also know that the spike protein is less associated with the virulence. Which means researchers have to keep looking for what makes the Virus deadly. This could lead to more effective vaccines and antibody treatments or even antiviral agents. Knowing which protein to target is half the game.
I appreciate how these collections contain links to tutorials, as that's massively helpful for someone who isn't sure how to even get started with something. Thanks for sharing (and for checking out Projectbook).
I guess if you're really focused on it. I built a content tagging system for an old employer that would attempt to guess context based on keywords and associations but give the writer of the content the final say in what's actually being tagged.

Sure, I could have spent a thousand hours refining it, but the improvement would have been marginal and it still would need human interaction.

This viewpoint seems to imply that anything not directly related to biological survival and procreation is a 'surrogate activity' which then includes all of art, science, literature, etc. Would this author also classify some of the earliest human technologies (controlling fire, making tools, propagating plants from seeds) as 'surrogate activities' as well?

It seems like a logical quandry. If the only measure of non-surrogate activity is something like 'does this activity contribute to the survival of the individual, the family, the society, the species', and if science is a surrogate activity, then why isn't learning how to control fire also an unnecessary and frivolous activity?
Well, if that's your interest then I would ask *that* question. HN is known for a lot of things. Beating around the bush isn't one of them.

The simples answer is that many orgs have accumulated megatons of high quality production code that cost them unknown billions in total to create and that runs half of the world. Throwing it away is insanity. Hence need to improve on what is already available.

Also not everyone believes in silver bullets and modern C++ is fairly god and easy enough to use. Just do not try to know ALL of the C++. This kind of expertise is needed by whole 2.5 people. Partially true for any complex enough language.

[...] - "The toolbar has less icons now" - It's customisable, you can put whatever you want in there. Yes, with colourful icons. [...]

As someone who uses Rider, RubyMine, WebStorm (and sometimes PHPStorm) on a daily basis am worried that I now need to customize 4 IDEs (will they sync this config?). So until now I never wanted (or needed) to do that, now I have half a day work to get something I already have. I don't think that's progress.

Why not make it customizable, but let the default be the current state?
Agreed! The thing about 6ghz is that it doesn't travel through walls as well, and tends to have shorter range in general.

On the surface, this seems like a negative, but if you're in a crowded apartment building, it can actually be a major benefit. Even if a bunch of your neighbors end up using it on the same channel as you, you won't experience as much interference because the walls will attenuate their signals.

Of course, a single AP might not reliably cover your entire home in 6ghz, but you can always fall back to 2.4 and 5ghz and/or get more APs.

Additionally, WiFi 6 (and 6e) is better in general at detecting neighboring networks across all frequency bands and reducing interference automatically.

Eeesh, I dunno.

With an iPad costing about 50% more than a decent (e.g. Lenovo or Samsung) Android tablet, then I would absolutely go for the Apple product. My $450 8th gen iPad is a fantastic device.

But if an iPad now costs 100%+ more than a decent Android tablet, then I think I'm being squeezed out here. A tablet is a not a laptop-replacement for me. It's a thing that I use to read books and watch movies laying in bed. $600+ for that is starting to get silly, when there are plenty of serviceable options in the $300 range.
Sounds like they had a control for this, though, because they claim to have investigated whether the teacher was male or female. Only differences seemed to be class size and whether the school was technical/academic or vocational.

My pet theory would be boys tend to have worse handwriting. So it could be that the worse handwriting is more frequently misinterpreted or simply marked as wrong by teachers.

Discrete classification of continuous phenomena is always going to be messy. Humans create discrete categories because they are useful to humans, but it's always important to remember the map is not the terrain.

I don’t want to use the touch interface while developing. I want to be able to do development on the same device that I can use the touch interface for other things as well, like using the Pencil to markup screenshots or design docs. It seems ridiculous that I still have to carry around a bigger, heavier laptop just for that one final use case.

I also have been using a 13” mac for years, so “cramped screen” doesn’t really apply to me on a 12.9” iPad pro’s XDR. It is more than capable, and I would hopefully be able to plug it into my external monitor at home.

I see a lot of folks touch on the UX of the Medium website. For me it's the content -- the paywall and overall layout would be digestible if not for the awful lot of generic Medium posts that regurgitate for the nth time the same basic tutorial of X, or repeat ad nauseam the particular set of ideas found on some independent blog sites.

I don't deny there's some quality content out there, but I feel it's not well curated and every other search phrase, I'm getting bombarded with tons of bland tutorial-blogposts (in ML domain especially) which really makes me disdain the website itself.
