> Given more and more applications require constantly polling backend server (not only social apps, e.g. a TODO list, note-taking application, a time tracker, etc.) I much more prefer this behavior being the default.

Why are desktop versions of TODO lists, note-taking applications, and time trackers constantly polling the server in the background? Social apps and web apps I understand.
Which part of the stack features would replace the staging area? I see nothing in this regard. Was the right documentation site linked?

That particular definition of capitalism is a recent innovation, because that’s the socialist definition of capitalism. However, even using this particular definition, they still had capitalism in Mesopotamia. They had privately owned productive capacity, which was operated on a for profit basis. As evidenced by the accounting artefacts they left behind documenting these practices.
They gave people what they wanted badly enough to pay for, but not for free, like all evil capitalists.
Curious. How do you see the system actually working - how do you stop at a billion?

So, let's say you start a company. Then raise some VC money. You start getting users and things are going really well, but you aren't quite profitable. You see a path to that but need to make investments to get there. So you raise another round of money. However, as you are doing well, the valuation of the company is set to three billion. As the founder, you still own 50% of the shares.

You are technically now a billionaire. Of course, just on paper but Forbes will still put you on the "overnight billionaire" list.

What are you supposed to do in this case ? When exactly did you go from "not psychopath" to "psychopath"?
I can think of a few reasons.

First, it's a potential privacy issue. It effectively is a single place where all dirt is concentrated, open for all to see. In case violators leak personal info, willingly or not, their mistake might be used against them in the future.

Second, it can be used to instantly find unpopular mods and mod decisions, and overwhelm them with more of the same, generating busy work or even harassment.

You can try to be as rational and logical, but in the end, it's not going to matter. The problem is hydrogen as a fuel is marketable, so it's going to be very overhyped because it's going to make a lot of money for investors. You only have to look at what happened with cryptocurrencies to get an idea of what's coming, maybe not as extreme, but no doubt it's going to happen. Furthermore, with the tech industry entering a recession with mass layoffs, investors are looking for their next target, which appears to be green and renewable energy technologies. This is even more true thank to the many government grants and tax breaks for renewable energy.

So sit back and enjoy the s%$#show while startups and entrepreneurs pitch the most ridiculous applications for hydrogen fuel and get flooded with billions of dollars.
Scala tried to be too much. Too many paradigms. Too much flexibility and power. Many people might think they want that, but a subset are probably going to have an easier, happier life choosing a less powerful language...
> engineering challenges that are broadly constrained by money

You’re comparing semiconductor manufacturing, a domain so concentrated one firm (ASML) produces the world’s cutting-edge instrumentation, and so quick-moving our modern paradigms for growth (Moore’s law to venture capital) emerge from it, to building an international piping and shipping system for a novel fuel that speculatively competes with batteries. Nobody is asking if, given infinite time and resources, these problems could be solved. It’s whether the solution would be competitive with what we have. Unfortunately, this blind optimism is baseline for I’ve seen for hydrogen.

Hey @raxxorraxor, I am not against using jQuery. What I meant was initially back in 2012-2013 days when jQuery used to be a default DOM query/manipulation library people used, the same code used to break across browsers and we had to use some polyfills.

Like you said you usually test with the latest version of Chrome/Firefox you are partly agreeing to the statement I made.

I am trying to find someone who's strongly in favour of testing their apps across browsers and multiple versions.

With respect to the astronomical definition of the seasons, they line up reasonably well where I currently live (coastal) but not with where I grew up (interior). Likewise, holidays probably lined with the seasons at one point in their history. What we are likely seeing is the gradual shift between natural phenomena and a human construct, i.e. the calendar. We carry a lot of historical baggage with us, even if we rarely think of it.
Or just a thesaurus (which is already a technique in use).

Also these have been around a long time. Amazon has SNS for example. Those other services seem to do a little more, but as a user my take is that people want to send me about 10x the notifications I can receive.

I think there is a pretty big gap between what managers think is easy or hard and what developers think. That’s why there are so many ‘API integration’ products when coding against APIs is usually the easiest thing we do unless there is some complication such as complex authentication (e.g. A simple demo that takes 10 min to code up with any of 7 competitors takes 2 hours w/ Google Cloud and trashes your Python installation) or Microsoft’s SOAP.

I had worked on high-end search engines and that got me talking w/ about 20 ‘enterprise search’ vendors each of which offered 200+ integrations to get text out of everything from Salesforce to Mongodb. Only 1 however did systematic work to improve search quality. The thing is those ‘integrations’ are usually very easy to write for the run of the mill coder but the search quality work needs the attention of specialists that the vendor could justify but few customers could.
that would require a supermassive investment that I doubt anyone is willing to make anytime soon. Google has tried hard enough, and failed miserably, without making as much as a dent.

Most of the cross browser issues arise either from CSS or JS, and both of these occur because of older browsers. Since we don’t have control over people as to which browser they use, devs generally tackle this issue by using different stylesheets for different browsers conditionally. Modern tools like lambdatest, browserstack generate multiple previews easily.
> Why do you need to alt drag? Why can't you just drag? You can drag a lot of stuff in windows and it "just works".

You can "just drag", but if you alt/option drag you get a copy operation instead of a move operation.

Sure, using option/alt to get a copy isn't "intuitive", but that wasn't the point. The point was to note that the consistency in macOS is such that even less known things like alt dragging has been consistently implemented essentially everywhere.
This whole thread is very stereotypically EA to me -- and why I see it as a sham. Starts off at the top saying how it's all about donating to reasonable charities, but soon devolved into "what about muh AGI". I am literally doing my Ph.D. in robot learning and I can tell you that every single "longtermist" effective altruist I have talked to has been more interested in getting high on their own stash of Sci Fi fantasies rather than interacting with the actual practitioners of the field and understanding what is happening, what are the very real limitations of it, and why their assumptions range from willfully ignorant to often simply maliciously stupid.

It's almost as if the wealthy, the privileged, and the powerful are interested in indulgences while doing things that tickles their fantasies, and as the invisible hand of the market works, there is a class of "philosophers" who are willing to sell it to them.

Most of those, and all of the useful ones, aren’t cryptocurrency technologies and were in use beforehand. When cryptocurrency salespeople complain about negativity it is in many cases because they’re pitching a system which shows no awareness of the problems encountered a decade or more before.

Now, maybe there’s some value in a prediction market which uses its own currency but that’s again not exactly revolutionary and a bit limited to build an entire field on.

"I could never in a million years duplicate the path that took."

I still remember, from at least twenty years ago, an anti-duplication technology based on this idea. IIRC it involved embedding glitter in clear plastic and then measuring the reflections at different angles. Devilishly hard to duplicate, especially since one wouldn't know which angles would be used in a reading so the placement would have to be nearly perfect in every dimension. Unfortunately so would the alignment in a reader, which I think is what sank the idea. Still, the idea of physically embodying something so similar to a mathematical proof of work seems valid and quite appealing. "I could never in a million years make the glitter fall that way again."

P.S. Here's a modern application of a similar technique to detect tampering with a laptop. https://archive.ph/g1kDW
I'll bet the "cleaning fee" is epic.
Besides being a s*tshow in practice, and I'm not saying that just due to recent developments, I reject EA even at its hypothetical pure form. Even outside direct family bonds, I do not value all peoples the same and do not support my discretionary resources going to them. Holding people's feet to fire with rationalizations, hypotheticals, Rawlsian veil of ignorance questions are all forms of shaming people for this completely normal human instinct. I have zero respect for deracinated disembodied nerds lost in their own abstractions who waste their surplus IQ to try to bully people into accepting their imaginary toy world through word games.

Given how annoying H+ ions are to handle, rather than sticking them together as H2 it may be easier to leave them in the electrolyte from whence they came, in the form of a "battery".

I've only been using RxJs for a short while now (we're moving to react soon), I don't really get it. I mean I get it, just not why we're using it just to consume some REST APIs. 80-90% of that is boilerplate code to please RxJs, and only alll the way down through two layers of stores / states and a library another team maintains is there a single call to `fetch()` that does the actual work.

I'm pushing to use react-query with the new app, I think people will get confused when it turns out hooking up the whole API will take hours.

Exactly. And some modern books are taking full advantage of that fact and including javascript for interactivity. Though I'm not really a fan of this direction, some of the childrens books I've worked with have been pretty cool.

Also note that while EPUBs are zips, the first few bytes are not compressed. Doesn't matter when unzipping, but if you want to make changes and re-zip you have to account for it.
Get your manager involved, get a new job for yourself, or learn to live with it. Maybe start sending job posts to this other person and see if you can help get them a new job?

It’s very unlikely that you’ll be able to help this other person “improve” (and it might cause new problems for you if you try).

You might also need to realize that the other person isn’t underperforming and that you don’t have full information about the situation.

The economics of cruise lines are very closely analogous to that of space travel. Making these ships habitable and building social cultures that can survive long periods on them will make other planets habitable. The only meaningful difference is propulsion.

I feel like there is a more cyberpunk future for cruise lines where once Starlink and remote work is more mature, living aboard one will be economical for a bunch of reasons like land costs, crime, tax domicile, identity. The part in the video with personal quadcopter taxis solves a bunch of dinghy problems

The World (large cruise ship with condominiums) was made for retired seniors, but a bunch of remote employees living on them getting paid electronically and paying for fuel, food, and maintenance is sort of the city state concept that dumber ideas (sovereign stationary sea platforms) got in their own way of implementing. Las Vegas began in a similar way, where it attracted revenue with gambling, where a ship would collect it from residents who made money via remote work. One could even try real socialism on board because in a closed environment it would be sure to work.[*] Maybe we launch a fleet of cruise ships and offer housing to people who can be trained in remote jobs, where each vessel lives under different systems of rule for a year or two, and see how they work out.

Edit: there is almost no public service administration job that could not be done remotely from one of these ships as well.

I think you don't really appreciate how big the Saturn V (and similar) are unless you see the museum pieces in person. I grew up near a place that had one of the engines up on poles so you could walk under the bell and look up... kind of spooky to stand there and imagine the violence of the thing running.
There's a mix, I think. Some of it is what you are used to, and some things just plain make more sense to humans.

I remember when I first came to macOS from Windows (around 2003), these were the things that made me wonder why they were ever done any other way:

- Volumes simply had names! No "C:/" drive or "D:/" drive. Just "Macintosh HD" or whatever name the mounted volume was given. I felt the names were more intuitive than arbitrary "drive letters"

- Installing an app: drag it into /Applications. Uninstalling, delete it from /Applications. Felt way more intuitive than Windows

- File organisation felt more sensible. There was /Library for all my system files, and then ~/Library for all my user level system files. Each one had the same directories, it was really easy to understand

- Not having to install drivers

- Every app appeared to have the same shortcuts and the same common menu items. Preferences was always Cmd+, or App Name -> Preferences... in the menu.

- Drag and drop appeared to work everywhere. The OS clearly indicated via the icon being dragged, previewed things, in a way that Windows never did

- My Mac laptops went to sleep when closing the lid. And woke up instantly when opening the lid. I don't know if you remember Windows laptops in the 2000s and even the 2010s, but they did not sleep consistently, wake up consistently, they would crash, etc.

These were a few of the things I found more intuitive on Mac. There were other things I liked better (but weren't necessarily more intuitive)
I’m a fan of pure programming because of its predictability and testability. And I’m a fan of chaining array functions to make a data processing pipeline obvious. I like how these can be opt-in and don’t require a totally different paradigm/language/architecture.

I’m guessing this may be seen as a part of FP but not the core?
Apple does this, the Health app gives me a “headphone audio level” historical graph along with its opinion of what’s safe. I’m guessing they only do that with their headphones where they know the volume-decibel response, as you say.

Same with “environmental” sound levels, measured by my watch I believe. I’ve received warnings for environmental levels, so I assume it’d give me warnings for headphone levels if appropriate.
I actually switched to an iphone around 2.5 years ago since teams wouldn't run properly on my old android and the offerings from my company instead of iphone (huawei and samsung) didn't really appeal to me.

Now 2.5 years later I switched back due to not being able to make friends with the apple UI despite trying for that long. It feels so constrained and inconsistent to me.

The pixel phone I got now is a dream in comparison. The keyboard just works, sharing between apps just works. Keepass didn't really integrate with ios, in android I can select it as my own "autofill provider". I can have firefox with ublock. The

Switching either way was not really a pain for me as I never go all in on something so I just had to find app replacement.

As a note to the article itself, I also run KDE on arch linux on both my work and private computers and since it matured from the 4.0 transition mess it has just been great I think. Having used linux as my desktop os since ~94-95 I am just a huge question mark when someone puts me down in front of mac os!

I see no reason for the CCP, or any US citizen, to assume that Facebook/Google/Amazon is not infiltrated by the CIA/NSA/FBI and is not generally willing to throw anyone under the bus to comply with law enforcement requests or sell data to the highest bidder.
I've used patterns like that in Scala; I see their value in building a correct system etc etc etc, but only if it's consistently used throughout the codebase.

As it stands, most JS/TS projects aren't very consistent to begin with; error handling is either not done at all (let it fail), or a mix of exceptions, failing promises, error responses / types / states, etc.

But that's not really down to the language, more the underlying culture.
Me too. I envision a pebble like smartwatch or an eink phone with Lora.

Lora on 2.4 GHz can probably provide the higher bandwidth required for voice albeit at a lower range compared to the sub-GHz version. look up SX1280.
Just remember that that doesn't mean piracy.
My observation too with 80/20. In fact - the system seems to be designed to work as such. You'd be going against the grain trying to make things anything other than 80/20. The only concern for individuals is: is being in either group in line with your personal goals?
How do you think someone like Mark Zuckerberg fits into that model?

From what I observe, his personal motivation really does seem to be “build the most powerful social media company” and not “accumulate as much personal wealth as possible”. I think the VR bet is a good example of that - any sane CEO trying to maximize shareholder value would have scrapped it long ago.

I’m not saying Mark is a great person, far from it, but I think it’s worth scrutinizing how billionaires got in their positions. There’s a lot amount of difference, in my mind, between Bill Gates and John Bogle.
I'm past 40 and I see this in my workplace. All my colleagues who work long hours are in their 20s, particularly the fresh graduates who just joined. I try to gently tell them that they can just work their 7.5 hours per day and go home like us old guys, but they seem determined to burn the candle at both ends. Ah well, they'll learn - when they burn out.

Energy density. For the fuel alone, volumetrically. Altogether, massively as well.
