Well I can transfer files wirelessly via AirDrop to my Mac.

You can do it with a third party app

Which is a whole another set of issues and complexity.
I remember when the credit cards blocked wiki-leaks. People become beholden to the organisations that own the cards.

In Australia the gov doesn't give the first nations people assistance, they give them cards that denote how they can spend the money. It's nanny state in the highest.
When was the last time you used iPadOS? It can run multiple programs, and can display two side-by-side just fine. Yeah that means it's a little clunky if you need to switch between three or more apps, but it's not like it can't have apps in the background when you can't see them. (Plus, no need to simulate anything, you're on a real iOS device.) There's still no Xcode for iOS, though there is Swift Playgrounds if you're an iOS developer, and VScode still hasn't made it to the App store, but it's got a keyboard and a mouse so if you squint a little, it's fine for a large segment of users.

Sure there are limitations; you can't hit F12 and drop into developer tools in Chrome, plus iOS Chrome is just reskinned Safari anyway. Oh and the sound thing. I'm not saying a full laptop doesn't have more, but the lost capabilities simply aren't showstoppers for everyone, especially if you're not a developer. In fact, because they can have build in cell-modems and macbook air's don't, combined with the fact that there are decent SSH clients, it's actually a better device for some.
That's already been the literal outcome over the past decade. Tesla's profit comes from two places: 1) government subsidies and 2) selling ZEV credits
I know about these, but there is a marked difference between Rust and these tools.

Static analysis tools have much harder job analyzing C++ (aliasing and escape analysis are way harder, and static analysis of thread-safety is basically impossible due to lack of thread-safety info in the type system). The results are a trade-off between being sparse or having false positives.

The sanitizers only catch issues they can observe at run time, and that relies on having sufficient test and fuzz coverage. Some data races are incredibly hard to reproduce, and might depend on a timing difference that won't happen in your test harness.

OTOH Rust proves absence of these issues by construction, at compile time.

It's like a difference between dynamically-typed and statically-typed languages. Sure, you can fuzz type errors out of JS or Python, but in statically-typed languages such errors are eliminated entirely at compile time. Rust extends this experience to more classes of errors.
If there are pedestrians and cyclists around - which is indeed the case when children come to school or go back home - then nobody gets mugged, even if there are some junkies or homeless people also in the same neighborhood. First, because junkies and homeless people are not automatically violent (and the Netherlands has a lot less violent crime than the US); second, because there are too many witnesses; and third, because unless they're cycling, they're not on the bicycle path anyway.

I'm not an expert on Zulip by any means but I'm always a fan of other open source projects.

Beyond what we have right now, we want to design Linen to be a thread-first tool (hence the name). We wanted an experience familiar to users of chat communities but encourages thread usage natively. We want to do things like letting you move messages between threads and threads between channel. Which I think Zulip has that functionality. We just haven't had the chance yet because the scope is so big and we wanted to ship something quick and get early feedback.

Would also love to hear about what you really enjoy about Zulip.
No, it doesn't assume that. Ensuring that they are compatible would be the next step. Either manually by the user or automatically by showing a fat warning or retracting the suggested code completion.
It’s taken 2 years for logic to finally overcome political polarization and you can now express a logical opinion without being removed from the internet! Progress.
Carbon credits from tree planting? Similar to the famous bounties on rats in old France. Rat plantations made a few rich. Similarly, institutions can claim credit for planting 'forests' that are pointless and failures.

Sure planting trees is generally a low-yield operations, with <50% survival rate typical. But these referenced projects were abysmally low, egregiously low, around a percent or two. Low enough to see that no honest effort was made.
I agree with them, but local "news at 6" shows tend to feel more balanced when I watch them, because they only have about 30 to 60 minutes to report what they need. Only the most important stuff can be reported, due to the inherent restrictions of the medium. Its not perfect. Like you said choosing not to report something is a bias in itself, and local news shows aren't exempt of this. But also, they have an incentive to report stories that their area will find significant, so I prefer it
Because they changed to linux and then back to freebsd, bit like sdf.org.
they would probably discover quantum field theory before arithmetic!

Sure, but much like we eventually discovered quantum field theory, they'll eventually discover arithmetic. And even if for some weird reason they hadn't, they're probably smart enough to understand it once we demonstrate it to them.
That's a standard proof by contradiction. Make an assumption, derive a contradiction, the conclusion is that the assumption must be wrong.

There's indeed an extra assumption in here, namely that we can write a program such as B that runs on "itself". That's not difficult to see though, if we think in terms of Turing Machines (or an actual computer with memory, for that matter).

I think the given proof is essentially correct.
I'm in the US. I'm 10 miles from my work, in one of the eastern-most suburbs. I cross dozens of major stroads (arterials with HEAVY vehicle traffic) in my commute. The temps here in the summer are regularly 90+ degrees.

Solution? I got an e-bike. Again, I'm not saying everyone can bike the whole way. Take a bus for the first or latter half. It can be done if you actually want to make the change.
> Damn near every single person in this comment thread has antibodies and T-cells to Omicron spike and everyone naturally infected has T-cells for the original strain as well because T-cell epitopes aren't immune escape targets.

Checking my layperson understanding by trying to make a dumbed-down version:

"The outside of the new virus is stuff almost everybody's immune system should already be primed to seek and destroy, preferably before it hits a human cell. Even if it does hit a human cell, the inside stuff is old/simple enough that your immune system should easily recognize that the cell is infected and swollen, and kill it quickly too, there are no false everything-is-fine-here tricks."
What do you mean by “cat-talking” here? Bing doesn’t yield much.
> but that's functionally impossible: nobody is rewriting their application twice to see what rewrite is better.

Agreed, and hypothetically the 2nd rewrite should still be better than the first. So the language would have to make it significantly worse to outweigh the yet again experience in improving things.

To be clear though i'm not stating that every rewrite is assured to be better. However a carefully considered rewrite has a much easier time making decisions learned from any warts discovered in previous implementations. God knows there's always some warts.

As a Rust fanatic, i wouldn't expect Rust itself to be due to the performance gains. It's not expected to be faster than C/C++ typically. Just comparable.
In C code, you'll find many uses of pointers for iteration, which can't be replaced with C++ references. C++ typically also uses pointers in these cases, but wraps them in a layer of iterator templates (that is, hopefully, optimized out into a raw pointer access).

Not to mention, references obscure the difference between copying an object and sending its address at the call site, and obscure the difference between accessing a local object and a pointed-to object at the access site - a major disadvantage compared to pointers. Especially for a project which heavily uses email patches for code review and discussion.

Also, there are programming errors that can lead to a NULL reference, and there is no way to guard against that in code using the reference (well, none that doesn't generate Warnings, and/or is liable to be optimized out) - whereas at least with pointers you can always check in your own code.
Use ‘you’ in your copy to boost results
The Us vs. Them dynamic always fails. The "We are all in this together" bs also fails because is empty rhetoric. What works is surround ALL SIDES of the organization with people with superior soft skills.
It's not really just my view. You might be a lucky outlier. I get to sit on a lot of calls with tens of large and small organisations who have serious troubles on a daily basis. I've seen some real horrors out there. Independently everyone just thinks this is the status quo.
I don’t have any insight except I follow her on Twitter and a lot of names I recognise are saying very different things from you, like for example Larry Osterman. Maybe you know better.
It's weird to me that it's legal for former military members of one country to be employed by another for any military purpose at all, without the express approval of the home country.
> Intelligence is multifaceted. That business listens to product and not to engineers could be seen as a type of social intelligence of which engineers are notoriously unskilled.

To some extent that's true. I'm sure that product folks tend to have higher verbal intelligence (on average). But all forms of intelligence are highly correlated with each other, and engineers are likely higher overall. Many (though not all) of the engineers I know are quite articulate, even when English isn't their first language.

Much of the difference in "social intelligence" might just come down to being more outgoing and assertive, rather than an actual difference in ability.

> Regardless, framing any portion of your organization as "smarter than" (implicitly "better than") isn't going to help in terms of fostering collaboration.

I agree that the other poster's framing was hostile, but I am sympathetic to their frustration. I think it is helpful to remind product and business leaders that your engineers can be great allies in solving hard business problems.

"Product Designer" is becoming a more common role at big companies these days, and tends to have a similar role to a traditional PMs. Usually from a designer background.
That researchers at the WIV collected two novel viruses from nature, built a chimera with a synthetic FCS, infected themselves by accident, and spread the virus into the world? The first two steps are exactly what they proposed in DEFUSE; that proposal got rejected, but it's still an indication of the work they might have continued with other funders.

Or that they collected one naturally-evolved virus, got infected in the field, and spread it from there? The WIV sent grad students into remote caves that no other humans routinely entered, specifically selected for their abundance of novel potential pandemic pathogens, with nothing more than nitrile gloves and a surgical mask. So while there are far more farmers and guano collectors (and others creating risk of natural spillover) than WIV grad students, the risk per WIV grad student seems orders of magnitude higher.
Good point. I am not aware of how software was developed at the late 80s and early 90s...

But was C++ widely adopted at that time? I remember C++ compilers being a huge pain by the middle 90s. I can't imagine everybody using them earlier. (But then, it wouldn't be the first time everybody just decides to do something I can't imagine.)
"Not everyone lives in dense cities, nor does everyone want to."

I very specifically mentioned towns as well. Somewhere like San Luis Obispo comes to mind. It's about having places where you can walk, bike, or take transit for most of your daily needs. It doesn't need to be a city.
> But the problem is that most people are spineless and don't use the proper channels of authority that oversee these sorts of things to ensure that employers are held to proper standards.

In the US there is no authority that oversees these sorts of things. It's perfectly legal to make insane demands on an hourly employee's time. Hourly employees are lucky if they can get a set schedule and don't have to constantly check to see what days/hours they'll work because those hours can be changed at any time without notice. They can be expected to come in at any time to cover for other employees and fired if they aren't making themselves always available at the drop of a hat.

There are very few regulations preventing employers from abusing their staff and those only cover the most egregious abuses. Walmart (the largest private employer in the country) for example has been caught for things like refusing to pay workers for hours that they worked, for locking workers inside of buildings and refusing to let them leave, child-labor violations, knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, and serious OSHA violations that endangered the lives and safety of their employees. While they do get the occasional light slap on the wrist for violating what few protections workers have (often only after repeatedly violating them) even the largest and easiest target gets away with all kinds of abuses not covered under law.

Companies and entire industries spend massive amounts of money on bribing politicians so they can continue to exploit workers and even manipulate the workers themselves to be so anti-regulation and anti-union that they'll fight against efforts to improve the conditions that they themselves suffer under.

Workers being exploited in the US are not uncaring or spineless. They're just working against a system that has been carefully designed and refined over centuries to keep them powerless. We're starting to see some pushes for change though. There's been an increase in efforts to unionize, but just talking about unionizing can get you fired and laws have been changed so that unions don't always have the power they used to. In the meantime, folks still have to pay rent and eat, so they're forced to suffer under exploitative practices.
The problems start when each empowered locality starts demanding exemptions to laws that must be enforced consistently to be credible, or even viable.

It's a very difficult problem to resolve as coordination problems get exponentially costly as the number of parties grow.

In organizational terms, once there's two or more layers of middle management, delegating decision making to frontline managers create wicked problems.
Yes.

Take a rough guide to military planning and you see "strategy, Operations and Tactics" not "business vs tech".

And the prevailing direction is towards "mission command" - where each level provides the resources down to the next but it's not "directing" as opposed to "hand off"
No American should have faith in the media at this point, especially when it comes to geopolitical issues. The Western media uncritically regurgitates U.S. defense and intelligence agency propaganda at every opportunity.

Consider the conflict in Ukraine, for example, where the "most informed" citizens simply believe Russia entered Ukraine unprovoked in a blatant act of aggression. They have never heard of the Donbass region. They have never heard of the Donetsk People's Republic, and they have no information about the attrition war waged on these people by the fervently anti-Russian, ultra-nationalist regime in Kiev over the past eight years.
Pattern matching and exhaustive switch expressions are in preview.
Yes, if EVs are produced with standardized modular battery arrays.

Stop by the "gas" station, open up the hood, grab your drained battery cell cards, bring them in, and pay for fully-charged cell cards to swap in.

The "gas" station can then charge the cards you brought and give them to another customer.

It's worth noting that, under this scheme, battery life can be monitored and manufacturers can recycle/replace EOL cards when the "gas" station sends them in.

No more waiting for the car to be charged. No more changes to homes. Just use the existing infrastructure! It's a win-win.
Also, in practice, there's no such thing as a truly sharp corner, which makes sense intuitively based on the math, I think. But real systems have inertia, friction, stray resistance/capacitance/inductance, etc. so you can't have a truly perfect square wave in a physical or electrical system in the real world.

What does she mean, "not allowed"? She's not the boss of your daughter. Couldn't you just tell the principal she can't forbid your daughter from riding a bicycle?
I truly do not think so.

I have experienced a handful of magic products, Apple products which are the best example, that are built from incredibly capable software that takes cheap hardware components and makes them sing. All objects could be like this, deep software capabilities running on a few dollars of hardware. I have the idea that the demand for people that can create software is bottomless, that there will always be more thing to turn into perfect iThings.
I worked in Tacoma (Washington State) and the drive on I5 there could turn a 25 minute drive into a 4 hour slugfest. Worse yet, about once a week it would be 3 hour drive, almost without fail. It was awful.
I don't know how people deal with tags. It adds so much friction to me. Naming tags, deciding what rules this tag is supposed to have, deciding what stuff is tagged. I tried the firm approach of being extremely discrete with tags and it took a lot of effort, and I've tried the loose approach of tagging things if they are even slightly related which imo defeated the whole purpose of organizing things to make it easy to find them later if a lot of tangentially related things share the same tags.

Folders seem a lot more straightforward for me at least, and if I need something in two places at once, there's always ln -s
While things are indeed moving in that direction, at least in the biggest city in Eastern Europe (Bucharest) its far from reaching the vast majority of the population.
The best is "The Spy Who Came In From the Cold". It's a short read but a wallop of an ending.
That doesn't make sense. Even if what you're saying is true, these people who were not recruited in the first place would not have any military training or expertise that is of interest to the Chinese government.
The saddest part of all this is the railfans and trail fans are fighting each other like rats for a few discarded scraps. That's ridiculous when so much space is allocated to cars.
That simple sentence is doing a lot of heavy dodging to ignore all of the points brought up in the post upthread about the inherent difficulties involved in naval landings.

Now, if you're going to say economic pressures will lead to political settlements without conflict, then that's a discussion to be had.
People with relevant industry experience, even if non-technical, are also good candidates for product roles.
What you're describing is how it's already usually done, from what I've seen.

But the PM still reports to a director of product, and the TL still reports to director of engineering.

And when the director of product and director of engineering have different visions and priorities and criteria for promoting, that's the problem described in the article.

And you certainly can't have engineering report to product or vice-versa... I've seen both before and it's utter disaster.
The western world would not be compelled to engage militarily over Taiwan. We'd only need to provide money and weapons to Taiwan (rank #21 military in the world) to hold off China (#3) indefinitely given the fact that Taiwan is incredibly difficult to invade due to the barrier the mountain ridges form around it and the narrow straight leading to it for a sea attack. It's a natural fortress. Look at the ongoing failure of Russia (#2) in Ukraine (#22) despite not having difficult land to traverse in their invasion and having a greater advantage in military power by comparison.
Do you have any data to back up what you're saying, or is that entirely anecdotal? If that only applies to the top 20 families in the state then I seem to know at least half of them personally, which seems statistically unlikely.

Regardless of whether wealthy people like CA because of the weather or services the state provides (although I can't think of a single wealthy person who cares about the services that California provides), there's a tradeoff between those things and cost. If you increase the marginal cost of living in California by 4.5% some people will leave. Particularly those folks like startup founders or early employees who expect to earn the bulk of their net worth on a single transaction that will be taxed at the top marginal rate.

This is exactly like Russian 'Foreign Agent' law introduced about 10 years ago. Should we be following in the footsteps of despotic regimes? If we have just declared that these regimes are morrally bankrupt, we should be doing the opposite?

Do cars have right of way on turns like that? It's an interesting difference between Germany and Australia for example.

In Germany bicycles and pedestrians have right of way on roundabouts or driveways. So everyone is used to looking out for cyclists when entering or exiting a roundabout or driveways. It's perfectly natural.

In Australia cyclists and pedestrians don't have right of way. Often on foot you have you wait at a roundabout until there are no cars. I think this is a much more dangerous approach as it makes for building bad habits of not having to look out for others.
It is, for now. But it would be a lot safer if the chip fabs werent all located along a hotly contested south china sea.
You must know that virologists routinely "serial passage" viruses through animal hosts? Evolving a candidate virus "through multiple, probably dozens of hosts" is what virology labs do.

And lab leaks happen All The Time. SARS-1 escaped labs on six separate occasions.

With various levels of completeness.
In particular, Japan has the economic and technological might to have been able to make nukes decades ago. They didn't because they received a promise from the US that if anyone nuked them, the US would retaliate with its nukes. In exchange, Japan promised it would not make nukes (and probably also promised to consult with the US on Japanese national security matters). This deal came about because both Japan and the US see the value in keeping the number of countries with nukes low.
