I'm not sure you need the manual and an education from that era. When I've read everything I can find about a subject it's surprising how much you can understand. The challenges are often that so many of the systems are kinda uninteresting (gland steam pressure on a turbogenerator for example), only used in specific circumstances (fire control panels) or duplicated (ship controls often have 4+ controls which turn the azipods, not to mention the repeated controls on the bridge wings).

The last time I deducted too much time to this endeavour I started to understand the ballast controls on a O-class submarine...

I highly recommend Ink if you ever get the itch to write any kind of interactive story, even if you plan on implementing the story in something else later. once you get the basics of Ink down it's really easy to get the ideas flowing.

for example, my friend and I were working on making a narrative-focused video game awhile back, and I used Ink to rapidly prototype out the opening scene. for the end product (that never ended up materializing… at least, so far), the gameplay would be completely different, and probably not use Ink at all. but it felt great to bang out the opening scene I had in my mind, to set the mood, get in the groove of writing, and start thinking about how the writing and interactivity could intersect.

to demonstrate how useful and easy to use this is, here's the aforementioned prototypical opening scene, in generated HTML form: https://rezich.com/crimpyr (it's "over" when all you have left to interact with is "[TODO]" scenes) and here's the source: https://rezich.com/crimpyr/source.ink.txt (note that I am not, by any means, a professional writer!!)
It's pretty clear how to feel about this: unsurprised.

Their internal infrastructure was pwned by some 16 year old chavs who broke into support software with unjustifiable "superuser" features accessible by any employee. And Okta never intended to reveal that to us until the chavs themselves made it known.

This is a company that "literally" has one job - to protect the security of user accounts and facilitate login. Their product is simple and its development velocity is extremely slow. As a developer who has integrated Okta into multiple products, I've never gotten the feeling it's being run by a competent crew of software engineers, nevermind security professionals.

It's entirely unsurprising to me that they would be compromised at this level. Not only are they a juicy target, but they've proven themselves generally incompetent at performing their basic job.
other than edge cases, though...
Appreciate it -- I've read Atomic Habits, Tiny Habits, et al. so I agree with the general idea.

I try not to make my goals too lofty but perhaps I should think smaller for some of them.
I’m confused by this comment. Why do they need to move to browser-based JS/TS?

Their existing toolchain is all about doing everything in the IDE. (Remote dev envs, code review, all of it).

Am I missing something? I haven’t seen anything which suggests they are going down the path you refer to here. A local client they own is their differentiator over the browser, why would they abandon that?
This article badly underestimates the magnitude of this problem in China. The amount of paid trolls in China is so big that the views of real people have been actually significantly distorted by them.
Well I wouldn't have recommended building anything foundational on .NET either. But .NET is open source and runs almost everywhere now.

I would be fine with CUDA if Nvidia would allow anyone(AMD/Intel) to make implementations for their GPUs as well.
> Humans know exactly what parts went into it and how it works. Why must wisdom always be squeezed out of a rock?

Partly, because so many developers famously hate writing documentation and hate commenting their code.

If developers followed Donald Knuth's Literate Programming [1] then it would be a big improvement.

People rely on a lot of "tribal knowledge" without ever bothering to write it down, and out of all the fields, software development seems to be particularly notorious for its anti-documentation bias.

it's a generalized trend. Python is the new BASIC, but Python is SO much more complicated than BASIC. Web development was easy, now it's impossibly complicated, etc etc...

Rebol, Red, tcl/tk are good and easy programming languages, but kinda niche and obscure. I have no idea why computing is getting more complicated instead of easier.

This. The problem outlined is that of finding that old post which has exactly the right answer, and instead being bombarded with new, not-quite-relevant fluff. That’s not a problem of technology, but of priorities.
If anything, it's possible that the powerful connotations of "white" and "black" influenced their application in a racial context in the first place.

I see this backwards sort of thinking elsewhere in the list. Someone once used "yellow" as a racial pejorative, but instead of simply condemning the slur they attempt to preserve it, by forbidding other, non-racialized uses of the word "yellow".
Because this is my home, not your investment. Invest in something else if people living their lives on their own property seems like too much of a risk to your "investment".
"What recourse does one have if your county imposes unreasonable rules?"

"Reasonable" is determined by judge and/or jury.

Even with what seems like plain language in preemptive state laws or the constitution, it seems like those don't place many restrictions on what a local government can do, as the protections are quite limited and in some cases have been watered down.

If you want a good example of how this works, look at the firearms preemption situation in PA. There are constant cases and appeals about what laws municipalities can make. The people in power will make whatever rules they want with no repercussions, even when they know they are barred from doing so.

Back to your original question, I think the only real solution is to move to areas where the population has a similar mindset. Those options may be limited though. This is especially true with increasing federal regulation, or when population distributions in a state effectively give cities power over the entire state (see NYC+suburbs and NY in general).
Maybe people should stop naming things after single letters in the alphabet? Just an "out there" idea, I know.
So draft a law that forbids dumping oil into the dirt, releasing freon into the atmosphere, etc. And if those laws already exist, why aren't they enough to dissuade the practices but this anti-repair law is?
I guess I'm showing my "hobbyist" bias, because I was looking at Digikey-pricing quantity 1, not bulk prices, with my discussion earlier. So that's still in the general price range (XMC1 is similar to STM32L0). Not that the price point matters too much, but just trying to keep things apples-to-apples here.

But the 1.8 to 5.5V support and 50mA is _definitely_ impressive. Its not very common in my experience to see such a wide voltage range on an ARM chip (though it is somewhat common in PIC / AVR / 8051 8-bit uCs).

I'd still say that AVR DB has the advantage though, because 3x OpAmps can do so so much. The marketing page for that XMC1 shows off a SMPS DC-DC voltage converter for example with the XMC1 50ns comparator. Certainly nifty but...

I'll one up that with a true-and-proper DAC and a rail-to-rail OpAmp controlled by the AVR DB series. (The cheaper AVR DD also has a DAC, but is missing the OpAmp). There's just things you can do with a 5MHz OpAmp / analog control that you can't do as well with digital logic. I'm willing to bet that the current control / response time off of the 5MHz OpAmp from the AVR DB will beat the pants off of any digital logic the XMC1 tries to do.

And while 50mA is huge, the most I've seen in this class of chips... the AVR DB OpAmp is specified for ~30mA current source / sink. So while its smaller than the 50mA pins of the XMC1, its still rather strong.

------

> The upshot there would be high commonality with XMC4 (Cortex-M4F), and general commonality with other Arm platforms.

Yeah, that's definitely the biggest advantage to ARM in general. It scales really high.

8-bit MCUs scale lower though... down to 32B, bytes (not kB) of RAM... and other such designs. This ~$1 to $3 price point is really a battle between "the biggest 8-bits" (PIC/AVR/8051) and "the smallest 32-bits aka ARM" (with TI being weird with a 16-bit MSP430 sitting comfortable)

If you're thinking of "scaling down" to sub $1 (or more importantly: lower power designs), 8-bit wins. If you're thinking of "scaling up" to $10 (or higher-power, more CPU-intensive designs), 32-bit wins.

--------

EDIT: Honestly, the coolest thing about this XMC1 seems to be the LED controls at the XMC1202 chip, closer to the $3 price point. The XMC1100 are a bit feeble / low end and weaker than the 8-bits I'm familiar with at its ~$2ish price point.

9-channels of LED with 12-bit exponential voltage controls means you can probably offer a full 32-bit color off of those RGB LEDs. And with 50mA per pin, you can probably just drive those LEDs without any resistors.

EDIT: Ah, looks like 50mA pins are the "high current" pins. Only 6 high current pins on the XMC1100. The other I/O pins are 10mA. So resistors are still needed, but that's still a lot of nifty control for those LEDs.
So clearly, I can start a toxic chemicals factory in my basement, next to your house? (I'll move elsewhere of course)

I remember how the last VisualBasic programmer left the first company I worked for.

in regards to everything we thought was mandatory for development: version control, code style, code structure. We, young Cpp/Python programmers, despised him.

But nothing we had (QT, 2007-2008 web tech, etc) made it possible to spit out a business UI in an hour.

To be honest, I still don't see anything comparable.

Not only have I never heard of this kind of "handbook" (in spite of having an advanced degree), it isn't clear to me how they actually would be a reliable source of wisdom. It sounds like they are supposed to be a meta-analysis of the current state field, but to take it up a meta-level, who is analyzing the meta-analysis? How do I know the editors didn't just select their friends who have similar viewpoints? In the abstract, a handbook seems as likely to send me wildly astray as it is to send me down the right path. Almost by design, I'd naively expect handbooks to amplify the status quo and discourage more radical ideas (as most institutions are wont to do). This might be good or bad depending on the status quo but either way I'm likely only going to get out wisdom proportional to what I bring in.
See ROCm HIP which is basically just that. AMD chose to rename all the function prefixes but it's what you are asking for here.

AMD fucked up by not having a stable IR between GPU generations and not having a public Windows SDK. But that's their own problem, not NVIDIA's.

It's still useful as a means of transferring money for those in jurisdictions that don't care about their illegal activity. Like the countries that tolerate cybercrime as long as it is directed outside of their own borders. Or dictators themselves trying to avoid sanctions.
Sadly, they stopped giving them out around here almost a decade ago.

Not only that, but due to CPU caches and memory alignment issues, ECS have better performance than inheritance; also because most ECS systems ditch virtual function calls.

You’re expressing an ideology here. It’s not pragmatic and doesn’t reflect real world experience.

Yes, I have friends who don’t have Apple devices and I can’t use Freeform with them, so of course there are limits.

I recently sent my 85 year old mother an iPad so she can more easily watch videos and do video calls. She can use Freeform with me, but there is no chance she would be able to use a Linux or Windows collaboration tool, or even something web based.

By your logic, there is no such thing as a collaborative tool, but this is obviously not what people mean.

This depends on how you define "in commercial airports". Many commercial airports have a special VIP section, which I would call "in" that airport.

I'm just saying the environmental cost is real. I feel people are dismissing it because "it's not legal to dump fluids" when the reality is that it's pretty common—and pretty hazardous at a local level.

I think if you banned all automotive work at home (including oil changes) that would reduce the amount of environmental damage like this. It's far easier to catch someone changing oil than dumping it. However there are obvious socioeconomic reasons why I don't think this is something that should be done.

I'm not proposing a solution, I'm just pointing out we shouldn't ignore the environment here. Or expect poor people to care about the environment because they very much do not. I know the people that do this and if I challenged them on it they would say "the government pours oil on their own gravel roads to keep the dust down anyways" or "if the government cared about the environment they wouldn't have killed Stanley Meyer" or some other claim to point out perceived hypocrisy.
You're correct.

My intent in quoting was to point out how careless usage of words in AI can fool people, especially the layperson and create wrong expectations. Most can see the difference in the usage of word 'swim' w.r.t fish and submarines, but public knowledge about AI is not at the point where they can make a similar distinction when using 'think' or 'chat' between human and machine.

He uses it differently though, he's using that sentence to criticize Alan Turing's early hypothesizing about AI. If you're interested, that document linked has more context.

I'd say rather everything else went down, including precious metals. Wild to see how disconnected from reality our monetary system is, when you print more of it and it keeps going up in value... or maybe, just maybe there's no turning back so everything that couldn't be artificially created went down in value, with cash serving as a long fuse for the upcoming collapse.
Edit: @visarga, I was kind of expecting you to tell me about the commas in arithmetic. I wonder whether you didn't because it's obvious to yo, too, that that is evidence refuting the claim of learning out-of-distribution concepts. As in, yes, GPT-3 gets better at arithmetic with comma-separated values, but that's because the commas help it overfit even more.

They might be a paid troll, but they might not be. A lot of people are doing the same thing as the paid trolls, for free. Some literally believe what they are saying is true. Others simply don't care about truth, as long as it enrages and disorients the people they oppose.

People enjoy being outraged and outraging others. It drives a lot of engagement on social media. The paid trolls nudge it along, but they didn't invent it. They're just helping us do what we're already doing to ourselves.

Nor is this just basement dwellers. Trolling-like behavior has been endorsed and engaged in at the very highest levels of leadership. Nor is that a both-sides-are-bad situation -- a common tactic of trolls.

As many web sites have learned, you won't succeed in just ignoring the trolls. We can do better than we do, but this is a serious and endemic problem. Perhaps it's made harder than it needs to be, but only by exaggerating our existing tendencies. I know of no other way to fix that except to plead with those doing it to stop attacking other Americans. But having watched that become worse year by year for decades I have zero reason to think that will happen.

Pre-TSA, when airports ran their own security checkpoints, it was not unusual to have a separate line for first class and high-level frequent flyer members. So that aspect of it has always been around. We just made it a governmentally-enforced one.

Plus, a lot of Precheck people have it via Global Entry, which really is paying to skip the line. Since I got GE, I have never once spent as much time at immigration coming back to the US as it took me to walk from the gate to the immigration hall. Longest line ever was maybe five minutes, because an entire jumbo jet's flight crew was in front of me. I've bypassed hours-long lines.
