It's often hard to tell if a person making an ugly statement is saying it with approval that this is the way things ought to be, or if they are saying it as an observation of harsh reality and they aren't attaching a moral judgement to that observation. Many people then assume the former and label the speaker as malicious when they are simply sharing their observation.

In my view, "might makes right" is simply an observation of harsh reality. Ignoring that reality is folly.

Java seems to be getting a lot of flak. I would very much prefer to maintain a large Java code base over large JS, Python, Ruby code base hands down. Trust me, you don't want to be in a position to maintain a 100KLOC mess of an app written in JS by long goners.

They agreed that 30% should be set aside at COP15 yesterday. They probably won't, but we are one step closer to having your wish.
My co-founder/ collaborator has. He is a 100% vim person, to the extent that he has Firefox configured to let him do things with vim key bindings (I believe using imperator).

He's switched over to VScode with vim key bindings and has been happy as a clam. He's heavily using Python with pylance plus copilot for the python side of what we do (which is most things).

I'm an emacs user who has made a similar switch (but with a horribly weird mix of native and emacs keybindings). Oh, and the VScode sync extension for me. I use and love the rust-analyzer extension.

It's caught some shit over the years, but it's hard to go wrong picking almost anything off Bloom's (IIRC somewhat reluctantly-compiled, at the request of the publisher) list from the appendices of The Western Canon.

There's another pretty good one, that includes more science writing and such, at the end of Adler's How to Read a Book.

Bloom's:

Adler's:

http://sonic.net/~rteeter/grtadler.html

And that site has a bunch of other lists in a similar spirit, on it.

[EDIT] One thing to beware of with free ebooks and non-English works in translation, is that it's pretty common for older public-domain translations to be needlessly-obtuse to a modern reader, or outright bad. Worth taking a few minutes to compare your options before committing to one of those.

> X% of land dedicated solely to being nature

that happens on small scales in places: our neighborhood in Arizona reserves 33% of land in its natural Sonoran desert state, so houses are interspersed within that...this means bobcats (north american slang for the local lynx), puma, javelina, coyote, etc. are resident among us, and regularly seen (the pumas less regularly, but on trail cams regularly).

Looking more closely, the slider screw has a pitch of approximately 0.545"/rev and a diameter of 0.25", for a helix angle of 34°. This means that less than half of the slider force is actually used to turn the screw, undermining any force gain. That is, the jaw force is less than is applied to the slider due to the screw's inefficiency as over half of the applied force is lost pushing against the screw's supports.

Is that accurate that over half the force is lost? As the helix angle gets lower wouldn't more force be transferred to the screw instead of the supports? I'm no mechanical engineer but my gut says 45 degrees would be the point where forces are balanced between screw and support and as the helix angle decreased (to 34 degrees for example) more than half the force would be applied to the screw.

way too many IPOs & SPAC mergers recently…

It seems like a lot of the anti-Clojure sentiment boils down to 1) lack of static typing, 2) poor IDE support.

I'm wondering, though, doesn't the same apply to Ruby, Python, and Node projects?

I've over-hauled 80k line Python projects, and the "lack of typing" there seemed to apply as well.

Why don't Ruby, Python, and Node projects suffer from the same critique? Genuinely curious...

> This also because most people dismiss it as line noise / write only programming language

Not so. Anyone who says these things simply does not know APL. It's like saying musical notation is write-only. Sure, if you don't know it reading the darn thing is excruciating. Yet, if you do, you can see music on the page.

What APL is not is a low-skill, low-knowledge language. A casual glance at the language isn't enough to know it. Just as you can't internalize musical notation without dedication, work and experience.

Back in the '80's I used APL professionally for about a decade. From that context, it reads like music. To this day I can read it just fine (though not as quickly). Interestingly enough the same is the case musical notation, which I could read without thinking twenty years ago, when I was studying and playing classical guitar and piano with great regularity.

That said, I would not recommend anyone get serious about APL today. Study with some degree of dedication? Yes, I think that would be of value. Real projects? No. Definitely not.

> TSA PreCheck

That system was created to avoid what you mention earlier, privileged people in society being inconvenienced and feeling motivated to speak out against these systems. Instead of subjecting the movers and shakers to the full brunt of the TSA, such people are allowed to opt out of the tyranny for a small (to them) fee.
The alternative is to hold the institutions that inflict this suffering on people proportionately accountable for it.

One of the reasons we don't, is because the socially required reaction to this abuse is to suck it up, and suffer in silence.

What is the equivalent of a bank having its home wrongly taken away from it? Locking the doors on one of its branch offices and boarding it up for a few months?

There's an enormous level of asymmetry in the damage a large institution can inflict on a person, either by accident, or malice, compared the reverse. And that's not okay, and we shouldn't consider it to be okay. We need to do better.
The red handwriting font is exceptionally good; I'd love to know what that is. It looks very natural, I assume with a ton of ligatures.

Who gives a shit about anticompetitive behavior in comparison to saving human lives from a preventable disease? Talk about missing the forest for the trees. It's so miserable to talk about positive actions these days, because it's verboten to focus on that when there are negatives to point out.
I am an avid reader, reading 2 or 3 books at a time, alternating between history and economics to fiction and fantasy, with detours into science and periodicals (like The Economist). I think I exceed this 50 books/year goal easily, but I never bother counting. I am also lucky to read in more than one language, for a nice variety. Incidentally, I read Moby Dick this year and found it a mixed experience, but more on a pleasure side.

Anyhow, it's been very interesting to see changes in myself the attention span required. I have to consciously put my phone and get cozy in reading chair so I am not distracted.

For my teenage children, once phones and high school was introduced, their reading dropped quite a bit. They still read but they seem like madly dancing gadflys in their approach to it.

Yesterday we visited with friends and their 12 year old daughter was on chapter 3 of Count of Monte Cristo and was complaining that it was dull and when it was going to start being awesome. We (her parents and our family) were cheering her to stay with it because the epic tale of escape and revenge (served quite cold) is really good.
I don't think notifying her firm is good enough. She should have to be notified individually, directly, and provably for them to get out of refunding the ticket.
The decision this reverses was to buy all-diesel trucks when everyone involved was screaming that electric makes the most sense.

I can’t prove it, but the whole thing smelled very strongly of corruption.

”I’d like to save the world too, but I have friends that make diesel trucks.”
> So basically you had a perfect storm of a bunch of people trying to figure out something from scratch and massive over investment from VCs.

This could describe today, with crypto (tech still looking for solutions to problems that aren't scams), AI (great potential but mostly in a gimmick phase right now), and VCs coming from a decade of record-low rates causing extreme valuations across the board ($5M seed rounds, etc).

If you exclude Big Tech (which also took a beating but is managing), the smaller tech scene is ripe for a disruption of a very uncomfortable kind.

is animal farm where you get all your ideas about socialism? lol ok

it's clear that you're the one who doesn't know what socialism is. this is a pointless discussion and you have no idea what you're talking about and didn't really respond to any of my arguments in good faith. i'll say it again because it went over your head in my very first comment: state dictatorships with nationalized industries are not socialism.

i've been properly explaining my beliefs but you've just been misinterpreting my claims and ignoring what i say because you're bad at debating. it's impossible to argue with somebody who says that everything you say is wrong (despite the claims being true). it's beating somebody at an argument through gaslighting.

this is a waste of my time. i'm not putting in the effort to write my arguments better — this is like arguing with a racist about why the confederate flag is a hateful symbol.
MSG defends using facial recognition to kick lawyer out of Rockettes show
I've operated in boiler room offices at large plants for almost 40 years, the mimic panel is a very valuable tool. With miles of piping carrying water and steam for various reasons, the panels help keep it all straight in your mind.

These panels are in hospitals, chemical plants, data centers, Navy ships and subs and many other places similar to where I work. I can't imagine what it feels like to work in a nuke facility. I do work with some men who worked on subs, their training was astounding.
That’s a great point. For that matter, imagine that being maintained by Verisign or the like. Get a ding on your social credit report, and voila, you can’t walk into a grocery store anymore.

I can only tell you my own lived experience, and that was it.

It is possible there's a better way to do these things my team was unaware of (I was aping an existing server and replacing its RPC handlers with our own, not starting from scratch), but yep. XML and I can't be arsed to remember if they call their @-forms "decorators" or "annotations" because I use too many languages that have some variant of them to keep track.

Point is, I wrote more of both than actual Java, and the annotations make debugging much harder than slapping a tracing debugger on.

ETA I think the peer comments and this one underestimate the stickiness of methodologies in old languages. The fact that there are better ways to do it now is irrelevant... Because there was a previous best practice that is no longer a best practice, that best practice lives forever in the code bases and shared knowledge passed by peer review of existing institutions. Hell, I can go to my bookshelf and pull down two Java tutorials that show how to do an RPC server with Spring and XML... Once it's committed to paper, it lives forever. One can make the assertion that a team should be constantly developing their process, but management is a lot more comfortable with standing up a new server that looks exactly like the old one than with trying a new methodology that is unproven at this company. If for no other reason than so we don't have multiple ways to approach debugging servers depending on what team set it up.
> Maybe the lack of commenter enthusiasm is because point clouds are fairly specialized.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

The pointcloudtomesh notebook seems to be be able to output something could be converted for 3d printing purposes.

I haven’t yet attempted to do so, but that does seem like an exciting and general purpose use case.
I used to be an editor in an online digital video suite. All real time and all dedicated controls. GVG Kadenza, Abekas and Accom digital disk recorders, D1 and digi-beta, GVG 141 edit controller. Rarely even looked at the controls, could adjust two or more parameters simultaneously—super important, especially when the parameters affected each other as they were adjusted. Muscle memory ruled—like playing a piano. Plus the physical motion, flying through the settings, looked impressive to the clients and, at those rates which could reach several hundred dollars an hour, that performance, the show, was important.
The workers hit the hardest during the dotcom bust were people who recently skilled-up in HTML/CSS and basic web design. There was a massive hiring spree for people with these skills and a huge number of those jobs completely evaporated by 2001. Many of those people ended up just leaving tech all together.

Those jobs never really came back as websites became more "Dynamic" and CMSes began to proliferate: So rather than hiring 20 web developers converting copy and design to websites you could hire a 1-3 engineer(s) to customize and run your CMS and non-technical people can provide the content.
Running Twitter seems to be more important than money or anything else the world expects from him.

I'm fine with Java copying features. I'm happy to use Kotlin now while it is ahead, no problem with switching back to Java once it catches up.
I wonder if you could have one with a device like a rock climbing cam that tightens the more force you put on it.
They do get the same themed critique from static language proponents, even more so since JS/Python don't have culture of using schema systems (ala spec and malli). But of course dynamic languages have a lot of upsides as well, it's just a tradeoff.
