Things change. Just because it was originally made for documents doesn’t mean that it hasn’t undergone such huge changes that it can literally drive FPS games at 60fps without a sweat. And I say that as someone who really doesn’t like many of the underlying abstractions, imo CSS+HTML are just thoroughly badly designed, none of them would be whole without the other resulting in extreme close coupling (layouting for example cannot be done without the other).

Also, should I really download a random exe to order a pizza? Plus, especially because the protocol is stateless a web app makes so much more sense (then replicating the state at the backend side).
I do this as well. I encourage people to own their own domain and use that for email; it is more complex to set up, but you have far more control long term.
This sounds a bit to Keynes in 1930 predicting we will work 15 hours a week in the future.

I don't know what is going to happen, but less young people and an ever-increasing age in the general population requiring services doesn't sound so good of a combination. Even if your metric "how many hours does a person need to trade to get a particular product or service" goes down.
I’ve always been in favor of an entirely different file type, specifically for applications. Imagine if we’d just had something like .aml (application markup language). Then html could have stayed as a document format and we could have avoided all this nonsense.
I don't think so. I tried to look up the price of CPU in my laptop, but it is not sold separately (it is soldered on the motherboard). The desktop version of the same CPU, which has 50% higher score in Passmark benchmark, costs 25% of the price of laptop. RAM costs approximately 10% of the price. So RAM + CPU make only 35% of total price.
The whole point is about identifying real issues before it is too late. And it is not like German politics is free of corruption.

Why would you want to replace upserts (I.e INSERT with ON CONFLICT) with MERGE? Without additional context I'd say it's an antipattern, for a few reasons.

First is that MERGE is a much more versatile operator (not a compliment if you need a specific narrow functionality like upsert) whereas INSERT / ON CONFLICT was specifically added to make thread safe upsert simple. How would you do thread safe MERGE in Postgres, off the top of your head? It's something that ON CONFLICT solves for you.

Secondly, MERGE is only available starting with Postgres 15, which has just been released.

So no, don't replace upserts with MERGE unless there's a gery specific reason.

Nobody cares that you can build up a DOM differently, that's decades old. What matters is: how do changes behave? Your example shows nothing of the complications of lifecycles or state-render loops.
Actually, the top dogs in a society also have a lot of kids. It's the middle and upper middle classes where the birth rates are killed - in the sweet spot where you have enough money to live comfortably childless but not enough money to outsource the extra labor for kids to others.
Ahhh, imagine an enterprise scale cloud of AWS service modules networked together for a security obsessed client with multiple customer access levels [1]

Then build a tool that crawls the AWS descriptions and spits out a "pure logic" description of nodes and properties [2], a graph of the network with property attributes.

The claim here is that:

> TIROS encodes the semantics of AWS networking concepts into logic and then uses a variety of reasoning engines to verify security-related properties.

> Tools that TIROS can use include SOUFFLÉ [17], MONOSAT [3], and VAMPIRE [23].

> TIROS performs its analysis statically: it sends no packets on the customer’s network.

> This distinction is important. The size of many customer networks makes it intractable to find problems through traditional network probing or penetration testing.

> TIROS allows users to gain assurance about the security of their networks that would be impossible through testing.

In other words the use-cases are static analyis of big complex intertwined balls of string, compiler trees, networked nodes, etc.

You can get the JAR-PPL SEP license for 10k exactly here in Europe (Spain -prepaid course) and everyone tells me that the US is cheaper.

It's expensive yes but not out of reach of most people.

Once you start looking into CPL, night rating, multiple engine etc that's when it gets expensive.

Choosing a framework for that is bad enough, but you could make the case depending on how complex the rendering is. Still…to go with Angular sounds like the literal worst choice. Like at least React is just a UI library and can just be used server side.
For sure. I could have phrased this better. Perhaps, "younger people were socialized to interact with people over the internet, unlike their parents or grandparents. In the same way, their children will grow up socialized to use a battery of tools to determine what's real or fictional in an environment of adversarial information."

I'm not necessarily saying they'll be good at it (indeed, that's part of my concern) just that they'll grow up in an environment where it's normalized & expected of them. Like how I grew up being told, "don't feed the trolls" or "lurk moar" by my online peers.
You don't tie it to a single device.

For consumers: it's considered good form for these services to allow multiple webauthn devices tied to an account. So you keep a yubikey somewhere to get back in, on the off chance that you simultaneously lose access to your phone and your computer.

For corporate accounts: an admin provisions a new device for you and gives it to you.

How does this overturning occur? Do care providers agitate for change? Or is it typically a response to headstrong patients and families?
It’s worth mentioning that in online conversations or documentation, rather than referring to manpages specifically, it’s often used simply to disambiguate “the Unix command ping” from anything else that might be called ping. E.g. in a casual conversation the word “open” can refer to a hundred different things, but if someone writes “open(2)” it’s unambiguous that they’re talking about the syscall.

Kinda like how macOS users will write “Mail.app” to disambiguate the built-in email client from the concept of email in general.

Yes, if everyone is good you don't need processes.

I do think Scrum took off because it is the opposite of XP, it doesn't tell developers any development practices (Pair programming etc.) so developers didn't feel bullied and said "Yeah, ok, lets do your Scrum". But it backfired.
Oh, you are right, I should be more specific, I intend to refer to the practice of bulk transport of atmospheric pressure LNG at globalized scale.
It does often turn into a weird kind of spaghetti when it comes to things that are inherently imperative. Sometimes hooks make me feel like I’m trying to follow a Tarantino script.
What they did was illegal, therefore it’s totally justified for the state to bypass the existing justice system and just ask the banks to them shut down, right?
Along similar dystopian lines, companies are already using ML to review camera feeds during interviews to detect "cheating". I assume they'll add "deepfake detection" or similar at some point and people who consistently trigger false positives will become nigh unemployable in certain industries.

> Does anyone have an intelligent strategy for investing in a world with low birth rates and an aging population?

If you read the latest Charles Goodhart's book ageing population would bring period of permanent high inflation. And during high inflation periods trend following (macro) strategies work well [I don't have a link to the paper at the moment]... So this should be rather simple...

Japan seems to be an exception to the rule, there are probably other factors that resulted in deflation during falling population era [I am fan of Richard C. Koo here - 2].

However it is not established yet - there is active discussion going on the topic - falling populations vs inflation/deflation. It is quite interesting actually.

Some accidents where caused by pilot and copilot providing conflicting input. Having two pilots pilots with significant training differences has the potential to make things worse.
Physics, by definition, has to do with everything, well, physical going on in this Universe. It's not about whether we understand it or not, or whether we're comfortable with it.

So yeah, if you claim conscience is not physical, then you're talking about metaphysics. Which is okay to do, but then claiming that those that say that Physics alone is probably enough are saying voodoo... Well, it's ironic.

I bet 90% of humans would make a similar phrasing error quite often, and they would rightly not care because it doesn't affect the ability of a reader to comprehend the text.

I wouldn't be happy if I'd hired a lawyer and they made that kind of small mistake, but it's not even going to register compared with the level of grammar used in the average parking fine complaint.

Pretty sure that person was just being rude & didn't genuinely believe they were speaking to a bot, anyway. I think they probably meant, "you're so unoriginal, talking to you is like talking to a chatbot." Hard to know though, they didn't elaborate.

It's worth noting that pumped hydro, and the dams that are getting torn down for environmental these days, often look very different.

Usually the dams that are getting torn down, block the entire river, and thus fish from passing up or downstream of the dam. (Fish ladders exist but are not particularly effective.)

Pumped hydro may sit by the side of a river, but otherwise not obstruct the flow, and so that is not a major issue. (Example rendering: https://cdn.forumcomm.com/dims4/default/3ac369d/2147483647/s...)

Yesterday, I spent a couple of hours talking to a friend of mine who's been in the dating world for several years now. He consistently tells me that he's out there looking for something serious, but in the interim it's become a science experiment and a way to get laid. My takeaway from this conversation is that dating is slowly turning in the least natural interaction between two people. It is constrained by a myriad of childish expectations and focuses almost entirely on personal attraction and not character or any other qualities. It's like a minefield and the more you walk on it the better you get at figuring out the expectations and getting laid, not by any means finding a partner. The saddest thing is that he's one of my many male friends who are perpetually single. Now, I'm a happily married male in my mid-30s and after having that discussion I really have no hope for millennials. We're up for some interesting times in several decades when the lonely, aging millennials will be needing care and there ain't anybody around to provide it.
Yes, companies. A huge number of them. I'd argue that makes Linux and BSD quite successful/popular systems. My point was not that so much that it's a company, but that it's one company. I think measuring popularity by how many people chose it makes sense.

Though popularity is a very weird measure. You have to also consider in what space it's popular. Linux, and especially BSDs, are unpopular in the consumer space, because not a lot of people chose it (even though a lot of people use it - consider IOS, Android, macOS, ChromeOS, PlayStation, et cetera). In contrast, Windows is rather unpopular in the server space, most choose Linux or some BSD.
That's just another way of saying that those jobs should disappear, as usually people aren't willing to pay a lot for those jobs as they don't get that much perceived value from them.

You can look at high skilled workforces like in Sweden, where there just aren't a lot of the entry level jobs you see in the U.S. So there aren't so many people working in landscaping or providing personal services, and people do more things for themselves. It's unusual to hire house cleaners, nannies, etc. If you are painting your house, you are going to have a hard time hiring people to help you, or hiring someone to come by and wash your windows. If there is a factory that requires lots of low skilled work, it doesn't open in Sweden -- only the highly automated factories open there.

So that's fine, it's a high-wage, high skilled economy in which all workers are expected to be productive -- and Swedish workers are highly productive. People are expected to have strong skill levels and a high educational level, so they can provide a lot of value and get paid well (here, we are ignoring the issue of taxes, because it's still a high wage earned by the workers even if they only get half of it after tax).

Which is great, until you admit a large number of immigrants without skills. Now, you can't absorb them into your labor force. Or until you realize you have a lot of structural unemployment and it takes much longer for laid off workers to re-enter the labor force. In the U.S., we absorb migrants easily and have much lower rates of long term unemployment - but then people complain about migrants doing low skilled jobs and some workers being taken advantage of since they don't earn high salaries.

Bottom line, there are trade offs, and while you can't please everyone, you can at least make them aware of the trade offs. All I can think of is that it's good to have both places like Sweden that tend to require high skills and places that have low skill/low pay jobs mixed in with the high pay/high skill jobs, so that low skilled workers can still find employment. The whole world can't work like Sweden, but it's also good that places like Sweden exist.
Our economic position is just as bad and probably worse than the 70s - on top of inflation we have the biggest debt since WW2, much worse demography, weaker unions and AI is just beginning to wreck havoc. Really not great to be middle class now in my eyes.
I do agree though, these comparisons to the past need to be done carefully, there is a lot of nuance.
Web search says you're right - negative 162 Celsius / 260 fahrenheit! Wow! About twice as cold as the coldest natural place on earth apparently.

I think you are right.

It is a little confusing because they use the term “battery storage capacity” a bunch of times. This looks like the… amount of storage capacity that the batteries have. But I think they actually mean it as, like, (battery storage) capacity. Like battery storage is just the name of the type of thing that provides [power] capacity.

> I wonder what kind of an impact literate programming has on maintenance. Can't imagine rewriting 40 lines of commentary to suit a 2 line code change to be particularly enjoyable.

Reflecting on and expressing the motivation of a task and providing the rational of how you accomplished it, the alternatives you considered, etc. will obviously bring a higher cognitive load along with it than just "winging it". My guess is that for non trivial systems the benefits generally outweigh the costs. In most environments you're likely to work in, the extra "upfront" effort is unlikely to get recognized, not by one's bosses, often not even by oneself.

I put upfront in quotes because I believe you don't just profit in the long term, explicitly thinking about the task and discussing / documenting the thought process generally leads to considering the problem more closely.

Having a well designed and documented system probably will also cut down on those "2 line bodge fixed" that are to cumbersome to document in the long run.

That said, it obviously depends on context, trivial code, throwaway code, boilerplate code exists...

> Or when you're swapping memory back in for an app/page that's scattered among many 4 KB pages on disk... but the point is that should still be faster than reloading the page over the internet!

I don't think so. HDD can do approximately 100 IOPS, and with 4kB pages that gives you speed of 400Kb/s.

I had different cases when system worked poorly when there was not enough RAM. All of these happened to me on 4Gb Linux system:

- when a heavy page is opened in Firefox and it tries to allocate more than 500 Mb of RAM (for example, Google Street View that leaks RAM), the system swaps out Gnome desktop compsitor, and everything freezes for several minutes, you cannot even move a mouse or switch to a text console. Often the only solution is reboot. Why cannot Linux protect Wayland compositor from being swapped out I don't understand.

- when the system turns off the screen, it can swap out desktop compositor because it is not used, and there is a freeze for 20-30 seconds when you try to wake up the system. Why cannot it swap out something less important I don't understand.

So in practice swapping can produce long freezes when the system becomes completely unresponsive. I cannot agree with your statement that getting a page from swap is faster than loading from Internet.

If instead of swapping separate pages the system swapped out and in whole processes, the situation might be better.

By the way, out of curiosity I tried to investigate who uses so much memory that 4Gb becomes not enough by summing PSS (proportional set size) of processes, and I never got 4Gb used, it always was about 2.6-2.8 Gb used after which the system becomes prone to sudden freezes. "free" command also never showed number of "used" RAM above 3Gb. I guess Linux has not only issues with swapping, but also with counting used memory as well.
What is that certain age? I feel there is mostly some kind of social pressure and fear of missing something important in life.

If people could safely get kids at any point in life without any influence from age I'm pretty convinced most would do it much much. Right now from my experience maybe do it because they feel "it's now or never" and "never" is scary because you could be missing out on something great.
