Very timely question, I just purchased an issue of the Economist because I was toying with the idea of re-instating a previously held subscription. I share the disappointment.

In the past, even just the book reviews were so good that they "forced" me to buy 2-3 of the reviewed books; that issue didn't intrigue me. I don't have an answer whether it's a general trend or not, as I'm trained not to ascribe too much weight to a sample of size N=1.

There's probably nothing better regardless, but I, for one, would like to see an alternative that is at the same quality level as the Economist (but with more neutral reporting and individual author names given) and an even wider scope (health, science, society, technology, geopolitics, finance, law, ...).

I subscribed the Guardian for one year just to avoid that it goes down (I could read it for free at work), and of course it is excellent, but it has a tacit pro-UK bias that brits (esp. leftists) wouldn't even notice. On the other hand they have excellent reporting and do not refrain from the most challenging topics like the Snowdon revelation (first published by The Guardian's New York office, for legal - freedom of speech - reasons).

Germany has Der Spiegel, France has Le Monde Diplomatique, but I think only the latter is available in English (I read German).

I would also enjoy paying for a single subscription that gave me online access to several of these top-tier magazine for a single flat-rate monthly or annual subscription price.
Standardised and clean CSS syntax. The benefits in that context are debatable, a component based frontend architecture is where it absolutely shines. If you end up using it in that context you won't need to ask this question, it quickly becomes clear that it's the optimal path.
Of course it does - I have had banks close my accounts as they did not want to be associated with me. I opened accounts elsewhere and carried on.

I am free to do my business, they are free to not take my business. We are all free.
I am long-time fun of Economist, but unfortunately the quality decreases. E.g. last issue EU is frozen and claim so many people will die in Europe due to high energy prices.

First, I find they did not explain their model well. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Second, the correlation does not imply causation or whether extrapolations are solid. It looks like there might be mistakes on that front and there are many spurious correlations (e.g. high energy in the past might mean high unemployment).

Third, so far the country experiencing freezing is the Ukraine due to power outages. Just one sentence mentioning, whether in Ukraine for sure many people are going to die due to distrusted power, heating or water supplies.

So far on general economics, I love:

I'd argue even a barebones framework should protect you against the most basic vulnerabilities, it's something Every Single App Ever will require.
FWIW, I only used Tesla as an example because I happened to remember their approximate efficiency in miles/kWh. There are less expensive options, and over time the used prices should fall as well so hopefully that is only a short–term problem.

Sounds like you need to speak to the department head who works over your advisor if you're not getting the support you need. If you've been working 7 years on the same paper/model and they haven't approved it, it is at least partially your advisors fault for not giving you proper guidance throughout.

If your advisor is the department head, speak to someone in student services, or appeal to someone higher in the authority chain.
I think Le Monde Diplomatique could be a good choice

Last summer during a whole company offsite we happened to play some quizz game where you had to give the nearest answer. One question was « How much time could you survive without eating anything except water ? ».

Boy did I won this guess by trying a random « 30 days » because I knew world records are amounted in months. The other answers were all, without exceptions, around 2 to 3 days and nothing more than a week.

Point 5 is painfully misled and I'm getting real sick of seeing this trope over and over again. Just because we are witnessing some layoffs of absolutely rediculously foamed over billion dollar tech giants in no way reflects the software job market at large.

Unless, all you read all day is the same crap that everyone else reads all day, then yes, you would be led to beleive that 'the end is nigh' for software engineers.

NT is different from Unix, it is heavily inspired by VMS, which was the anti-Unix of its time.
The basic architectural metaphors are different, and the way you think about things is different.
It is more architectured and more opinionated, which may look like over-engineering for some and a superbly coherent design for others.
There are some pain points, of course, a lot of them related to the need to support code written for a completely different OS (MS-DOS + Windows non-nt), but overall, I think that the general architecture of NT is pretty neat, and I would dare say, beautiful in some places.

Pdftotext, then convert text to epub
True enough for the average interpretation of what is essentially a subjective value, but it puts the focus on the wrong aspect of the issue. It's OK to not be beautiful (most people aren't, or are depending on who you ask), but not being healthy has a bigger impact on the individual (usually) and society (certainly) both. It is also a lot more objectively quantifiable than beauty.

I've got lots of experience in developing with both static and dynamically typed languages, I know the differences and it has very little to do with anything you are talking about.

Dynamically typed languages tend to be simpler and easier to use. This means on the whole they have less bugs than their static typed counter parts.

The real issue with dynamically typed languages is that their performance sucks.
(That and according to this thread people not having a clue on how they are properly used. You can't just use the same development techniques as you use in a statically typed language. It's different.)

What will probably happen is the even older “Best viewed on Google Chrome” gambit. I.e. web sites will technically all be viewable with what are technically open standards, but they will all change so fast, and there will be so many of them, so that the only browser anybody can realistically use is Google Chrome. And if a network can be only accessed with the product from one company, then that company controls that network.
Honestly speaking the only real use case of vim/emacs style keyboard heavy editors I can see(having been a user for years) over vscode is use of keyboard macros. Which in modern context is rare enough to make a one off sacrifice.

But otherwise the only real use case for vi(m) is I see is server side editing, and its still the best tool out there for such tasks.

You do attestation. CPU has it's own private key [1] and signs a message saying what was the initial state of the enclave. Enclave can plug "user data" into this message, which almost always is a signature over a public key for TLS private key which was generated inside the enclave. Enclave presents it to the other side of encrypted connection (i.e. you). You verify the CPU's signature so the encrypted channel established between you and owner of said private key necessarily happened between you and enclave. QED.

Obviously this assumes attacker can't extract TLS private key from the enclave. Nominally this is a central promise of SGX, but if you have some attack which allows you to read enclave's memory anyway, all of this falls apart. TFA discussess several attacks to this effect.

[1] SGX' threat model says CPU silicon is too complicated to extract this key even if you have physical access.
Sam Harris would of course delete his Twitter account, he can't be happy about Elon's #1 priority

All jokes aside, Sam has a terrible case of TDS, so anything Must does that helps Trump, however small, big or justified it is will make Musk an enemy of Harris.

I used to think Sam was a good guy with a level and reasoned head but when he said that he couldn't care less if the Bidens have dead children in the basement because Trump might have defrauded people of money, I think Sam lost all credibility.
I cant find the blog post now (its probably 20ish years old now), from the creator of AutoCAD (John Walker, I beleive). Where he details all the issues he had with various diets and weight loss plans. Finally he looked at the issue from a engineers point of view, and eventually came up with a solution that worked for him. I am under-weight all my life, so I cannot speak to the method myself, but he seemed quite logical to me. He more or less stated that the human body could be considered like a rubber bag with a hole in each end and that if the calorie in number exceeded the calorie out number then weight goes up, with the added complication of water retention (as far as I know, most programs recommend that you weight yourself at the same time every day so as to get a more accurate reading, due to water retention), and as such devloped an excel sheet which would show a rolling average of weight (like the way they guess the weather or some stocks). This he found, helped with motivation, instead of seeing big swings from day to day, a steady small reduction is seen via the charts instead.

I tried to google the blog, but couldnt find it, however it appears that he has released books and other such materials relating to it since then.

This isnt the post I read, however, it looks like some of the tools he created exist here:

https://www.fourmilab.ch/hackdiet/

Note, as stated above, my struggle with weight is gaining, not loosing, so I have not delved into this stuff on a deeper level, however, what drew me into the original post, was the amount of research he did in relation to how much calories various activities will burn.
GCC users quite often probably uses other compilers (not that it usually stops GNU developers from embrace-extending stuff). Don't know what the primary PS4/PS5 devkit compiler is but at least gamedevs (not an insignificant portion of developers still mainly using C++) often has MSVC(Win/Xbox) or CLang(osX/iOS/Sony?) as their daily driver due to platform choices.

You must be reading a different magazine than I have because The Economist has been writing a lot about the need for the US and the West to provide military and economic aid in support of Ukraine!
For me it is more thinking about eating every waking moment.

Weight is a constant struggle as I think about eating something essentially non stop. There is that trope that men think about sex every 7 seconds - for me it is thinking about eating. I never feel full and always want more - I can finish up a big lunch and within mere minutes be thinking about dinner and what I can have for a snack or whatever.

It is a constant struggle. It consumes my mind and I often can't think about anything else.

"Roberson is already working through what these questions mean for him personally. He’s been a member of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) throughout his entire college experience, which includes serving on the executive board for two years."

Reminds me of when I was a member of the National Society of White Engineers. I too was on the executive board for 2 years. I wouldn't put that on my CV though! And I wouldn't dare wear a 'White Space' bomber jacket, either! Its a 'bovver boy' look, only the patches are more in your face!

That's a joke. But, in all seriousness - how is making a big deal out of anyone's colour acceptable? I accept MIT is not doing it out of meanness, they are trying to be fair minded.

But its surely obvious that the only unfair thing here is the positive discrimination that is being practised? To me, this is overt racism. You can talk about 'systemic racism', but what's plainly systemic to me is this type of over 'positive discrimination' - written into policies, laws, etc.

I know MIT etc mean well, but to not see that they are the actual embodiment of the thing they profess to hate (systemic racism) is amazing to me.
Though American and generally US-focused, The Atlantic covers a lot of world affairs, although it isn't as news-rich as The Economist.

Certainly does not qualify for the ridiculous headline talking about "breakthrough". BBC, tabloid level again.

If someone's complaint about The Economist includes that it is engaging in too much "narrative manipulation", suggesting The Spectator as an alternative is verging on performance art.
I wish there were far less stigma revolving around asking for help regarding nutrition. I feel its like going to the psychologist; its somewhat seen as shameful and a proof you've "given up", where its imo totally the contrary.

In my case I think I'd still be flirting with obesity had I not begged to see a specialist.
This makes me wish "use strong" had taken off, at least as a strict mode for development. Helping you stay within the JIT's happy path.

More publications should remove the byline. Individual attribution incentivises journalists to try and stand out which typically means making intentionally inflammatory statements.
I don't have any stats to share, but my gut feeling is that no other company has ever had this many recalls simultaneously.
I highly recommend Quantum Enterprises's handwritten fonts - they have multiple images per character and also randomizes spaces, endings, ligatures etc. When printed out with a high quality inkjet printer (preferably with a dark blue ink), it's hard to distinguish it from actual ballpoint pen.

I bailed on the Economist a couple of years ago after at least a couple decades...thought I was the only one who felt it had declined. I haven't really found a good replacement still.

If nothing else, the pain they put me through to end the subscription was enough to prevent me from ever signing up again.

> Preferably something with a UK/Euro/Global focus, not just US.

Probably something that is not in English language, since those usually have huge US or UK focus. (Even news like politico.eu are mostly about UK).
I kinda have the exact same experience with The Atlantic as OP does with The Economist. I used to read it regularly but now it feels there's 5% good articles and 95% some kind of highbrow clickbait.

On the front page now:

1. Seven books that will make you smarter

2. Whoops, I Deleted My Life

3. How Much Would You Pay to Save Your Cat’s Life?

4. The Strength of the ‘Soft Daddy’

5. The Black Investors Who Were Burned by Bitcoin

Etc.

These don't sound like articles that are worth my time. I did persevere with reading the magazine for quite a while out of habit but by now I'm pretty much convinced that most of these articles will be just as vapid as their titles.
It's not simple math. As someone who has struggled with overweight their entire adult life it feels more like an addiction. And it is heavily influenced by your mental state.

I've been known to experience blackout-like behavior where my brain just disconnects and I end up buying some unhealthy snack because I subconsciously want it.

It has gotten a lot better with age though, just last week a girlfriend called me "fit" and I was shocked. So I have lost a lot of weight and I've worked hard on managing my purchases. Just like drugs, as long as it's not in my home, I won't use it.

But any snacks, candy or ice cream in my home gets eaten. In my later 30s I started throwing shit out, like candy into the trash, ice cream in the sink, just like an alcoholic. It's not just math. It's a very difficult mental health problem.

And it's absolutely exasperated by in-store displays of candy and snacks. They're selling death to addicts, in color.

Not that I am aware of. I think the closest project is co-dfns[1] which is being developed by Aaron Hsu (he did a presentation as well). It aims to compile a subset of APL so that it can be executed on GPUs for instance, possibly with other backends. I imagine an XLA backend could be possible there.

I was messing about with some profiling and seemed to find that TypedArrays are not always faster than regular arrays carefully handled. And what's worse it seemed like a regression from node 16 (fast typed arrays) to 18 (slow typed arrays). I will have to dig up my profiles again and see if I can verify it. Posting this comment in the hope that someone who knows more than me has something to add!

I suppose I'm a lifer, I've been working at the same place almost 20 years now. Even doing the same thing, more or less. But I've had the fortune of having decent managers. I got along even with the one manager I didn't wholly like, and he had his redeeming qualities. All the points made above by the OP are also true for me, except I'm in my late 40s, and we're not fully remote.

I never expected to like it here, and I loathed the work in the first few years. I posted about it here in the past. But I've made it my own, and that has made it more bearable.

I still suffer from occasional FOMO. My SO has been through 4 tech companies while I sometimes feel I've been languishing here. My dad worked at the same place pretty much all of his career and I always wanted to be different, to see the world so to speak. But I ended up staying at the same place just like him. I guess it doesn't matter as long as I feel fine here. I keep dreading the day a really bad manager would come around, or some reorg would actually touch me and throw me in some other less friendly team - several reorgs passed over my team without really touching us.

Incidentally, all my high school friends have more or less stayed in the same place, or hopped just once, during their career. None of them are in tech though.

Then there's the compensation, that's a sore point for me, sometimes. I make significantly less money than many other people I know who work in other companies, including my SO. Somehow I stopped caring about this though. So maybe I'm a sucker for staying here. But I don't feel like one.
I haven't seen it mentioned, but whenever I read articles from Foreign Affairs, I'm quite impressed. Though of course the focus is, as you may imagine, foreign affairs...

I share your sentiment re Economist.
A lot of comments here aren’t acknowledging the actual complaint, which is:

> everything from path separators, stupid shells, charsets, to not excepting non-sockets in select, no std libc, ownershipd of memory passed to DLLs, ...

Not having a standard-compliant libc seems really annoying. Also, curl is an IO heavy library. Not having select work as it does on other platforms or not having libc work as expected is going to be really annoying.
