most dutch cities have secondary schools which are easily bikable by most students.
In my personal experience, everyone i know biked, including people who had to bike for more then an hour to get home. This was roughly 30 years ago. But i doubt it changed much.

Mind you, biking is so ingrained in dutch culture that alternatives are rarely used unless the distance is either too large (more then an hour one way usually) or there is some special need why one does not bike. This is especially true for teenagers and students, because other forms of transportation are either slow or inflexible (public transport) or far too expensive (motorized scooter) or not legal for them to use yet (a car).

Macro enabled documents enable you to programmatically publish content. E.g. you can pull from an Access database or an Excel sheet and have it autogenerate formatted quotes for customers. Such flexibility is naturally a security risk which is why it has been made so difficult for the typical user to run this kind of document without jumping through hoops to do so but it makes no sense to remove the functionality from Word itself in the same way it doesn't make sense to remove PowerShell.
"But this also comes with costs: everyone needs to be fairly good at two languages, and switch back and forth."

I can't say they got cloud or github right. Both are major friction points for a lot of companies I know. Particularly O365, OneDrive and Intune are complete administrative nightmares riddled with bugs. Even Office on the desktop is a shit show now thanks to all the cloud integration.

And GitHub is popular but seriously so so so not right in many ways.

What they have succeeded in doing is merely centralising leverage and forcing entrenchment.

Not much of an issue if you stick to the stable subset of the language, and libraries that work within that subset.

I’m arguing that they’re better than pink-slime filled antibiotic-ladden fecal-matter contaminated meat burgers, for your body, for the environment and for the animals.

It sounds like what you want is SQL.

There is no good solution for the cultural problem that a written language is somehow unsuitable for end users. but personally I have spent way too many hours trying to make a search interface only to realize at the end that not only is my interface complicated and hard to use it still has only a fraction of the descriptive power a sql query has. At times I am tempted to make full use of the built in database permissions and let the user just type queries directly. but this suggestion is always vetoed.

Incredible work as always, thanks Bartosz.

Interesting side note - using the "basic" frequency/amplitude slider section, you can tell if you have any hearing loss in a certain ear at a certain frequency, as well as high frequencies in general.

As an ex-musician, I have some hearing loss caused by playing and being around extremely loud music. Between 6KHz and 7KHz, I felt the sound shift towards my right hear, indicating some hearing loss at that frequency in my left ear. Between 10KHz and 11.5KHz, I felt a strong shift toward my left ear, indicating hearing loss at those frequencies in my right ear. Above about 12.3KHz, I lost the sound entirely.

One very gentle bit of feedback (haha) to the author would be to provide anchors to each section so they could be more easily linked.
A brand new project doesn't need legacy C++ footguns. It can use modern C++.

The part of Python (usually) is that you don't need to be "good at it" it you aren't trying to write super polymorphic core that runs super efficient computations like scipy. If you have a fast core engine for the innner loop, a slow Python management layer is plenty fast.
I've done this by watching the NTFS journal which is surprisingly efficient. First I scanned the whole journal for filesystem metadata and dumped it into a SQLite database (which took about a minute), then kept it up to date which took virtually no resources. This was an absurdly faster way to search by file name, a search across the whole FS came back in milliseconds instead of Explorer's multiple minutes.

This changes things a bit as it seems like the issue is not remote workers and their skills. When i was a hiring manager i specifically asked new hires to get things up and running on their own, as a means to review our documentation. If they couldnt then we needed to improve. If you needed to “network” to get things done then that was a sign of bureaucracy. I kept teams small so that they could self service. Code was also split so it was manageable from a cognitive perspective not just technical.

But there is nuance to everything and varying levels of complexity, however people maintain kernels such as linux or operating systems such as freebsd or other massively complex and successful open or commercial products without ever meeting face to face.

Many years ago when i heard people talking about remote i simply couldnt get my head around it. I wanted buts in the seats and people in front of whiteboards. I just couldnt comprehend how entire companies operate without even having an office and they weren’t mom and pop size. Until it clicked. If a company can have offices spread across continents, let alone remote customers, then it surely can hire remote employees.

I would take everything you listed above as signs that things need to improve. Remote is not the issue here.

Also if you dump me in a room with 20 people just to get your code up an running i might think i am at a highschool not a proper workplace. Similarly if i need to jump through hoops to get things done then thats not a desirable place to work at regardless of pay or remote work.
Honestly, that sounds like the dream of plan 9. Full circle indeed.

> From what I have seen of the Netherlands, the bike paths are physically separated from the driving lanes (except side residential streets) so there is much less risk of a cyclist getting run over, side swiped, or cut off by a vehicle.

another very important factor in road safety in the netherlands is that bicycle users and car users are only mixed in low speed situation (less then 30km/h if i remember correctly) and that car drivers are always at fault for an accident with a bike with the exception of some very specific, hard to prove cases.

Drivers education stresses this dearly, and because everyone in the netherlands grows up riding a bike, the social contract to keep bikers safe is very highly lived after.
I mean, consider that, right now, the US has a military presence in Saudi Arabia, and active US military members are under orders to help train Saudi Arabian military members.

These former US officers in question may have already been working "for" this theocratic monarchy before they retired from the US military. So I don't think it'd be much of a moral leap for them to continue to do so, at least in their own minds.

But sure, I certainly wouldn't work for SA in any capacity; the whole idea would feel gross to me. But I don't have the career baggage of a US military officer who may have been stationed in SA for years.

US Treasury on the Threat of Crypto
That's entirely true. They're also decades behind at this point. Chip design and fabrication is an iterative process - if you don't have access to high precision manufacturing capable of building the machines that fabricate the chips you can't fab. China can't build those machines today.

Again, it's simple to say on a whim that China can go from building a lot of cheap electronics to building very complex microprocessors. But that doesn't change the hurdles or the reality.

Also keep in mind that if anything gets in the way of developing these processes - more supply chain breakdown, access to raw materials required to fabricate processors is unavailable or constrained, or China is dealing with any other number of issues along that path it will only take longer. Then realize that during this period of time the rest of the processes are enhanced and iterated leaving China even further behind.

So at the time China can fabricate chips that are outdated today, the world will be 20+ years down the road from where we are right now. The more you dig into all of the things that are needed for China to catch up the more it's apparent that it very well may not happen.

> There's too much ecosystem churn, and new language features are deployed too often.

That kinda feels like saying Linux is too crazy because new apps get made for Linux frequently.

You can use the same part of the language tomorrow that you used today. Nothing is changing out from under you. If you're afraid of libraries, don't use them. You'd have the same problem in any ecosystem that is new, no?
> Most people reading Apple's comparison who have an Android tablet will be trying to understand why they should pay the premium for an iPad instead of buying another $100 tablet, and being 5x faster is a logical hook. People with a $400+ Android tablet are unlikely to be considering a basic iPad, since they've clearly already made up their mind.

No, most people reading Apple's comparison will think that it is 5 times faster than fastest Android tablet and this is exactly what they're aiming for. How many non-developers or non-hardware enthusiasts do you expect to actually read what is best selling Android table CPU? None, they'll think that iPad is 5x faster than Galaxy tablet.

I did this with C++ and Boost Python back in the day and loved the experience. I wonder if Rust will someday get a high-level language for writing applications and scripts on top of a Rust codebase, like Boost Python for C++ or Tcl for C.
Exactly. Lowe is using a really horrible argument, he is trying to use the results to justify the experiment, but the entire point is it was an experiment and they had no idea how it would turn out. It’s entirely possible it could have been 100% as the result and that somehow this chimera found a spike mutation that provided human immune escape and a lab worker was accidentally infected as patient zero. It’s not what happened obviously but the idea he can use the experiments results to justify the experiment is absurd. He is a dangerous apologist, “it is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it”.

> most people reading Apple's comparison will think that it is 5 times faster than fastest Android tablet and this is exactly what they're aiming for

That is such a wild conclusion. Apple clearly says "best-selling" right in the claim. They didn't hide it in a footnote. I believe that "best-selling" is not a difficult concept to understand for most people, and I struggle to think of a better way for Apple to have worded things there. If BMW compared one of their new vehicles to the best-selling car in America, who is going think BMW is intending for the reader to compare against a Bugatti Chiron? That is not what anyone would conclude, and it's the same here.. no one should immediately conclude that Apple is comparing to the fastest Android tablet when they clearly say "best-selling".

Since you apparently believe most people can't read (or at least, can't understand the words "best-selling"), there's probably nothing Apple could have written that would have worked for you here. The comparison against the class of android tablet that the reader is most likely to have is an extremely valid one.

All of these tools and we still have exploitable buffer overflows in 2022. So either the tools are not working, people are not using them or they are using them but can simply ignore critical warnings.

Your milage may vary, but I think Rust offers a well considered step into the right direction. Stupid and dangerous code of the kind every developer will produce once in a while just won't compile in Rust. You cannot forget to run a check, you can't hide behind not knowing a tool. You can't ignore the warning of you want a running program.
