I used to specialize in Agtech as a consultant. It's a weird space.

[Disclaimer, this is my experience of the Australia and NZ scene, not much Silicon Valley involved]

The gap between "people who know ag" and "people who know tech" is just vast. And I sensed no great urgency to bridge the gap. I tried myself - talked to every farmer I could, moved to a working farm, even had a go at weighing cattle and applying treatment [0] (yes I am wearing slacks here!) but I didn't see a lot of people around me really interested in understanding the "other side".

There's also reluctance to address the connectivity issues. For most software developers internet connectivity is an ever present resource and it's a fault if it's gone. That doesn't really apply if you're deploying rurally, but multi-master distributed systems are hard and few people want to accept that's what they're dealing with.

In the end I came to the conclusion that no one appreciated my industry knowledge in AgTech (I must be one of the most experienced livestock identification software professionals on planet earth...) and it wasn't really worth investing my time in. That's not to say I would never work in the field again, but it would be in the capacity of working in offline systems, not my fairly extensive knowledge of cattle identification tags.

No, the censorship came way before that. Way before the election. I saw them censor a documentary preventively. Somehow, they "knew" it was "fake news" before it was even released.

From experience, no online used marketplace seems to be immune from price manipulation or inflation. KBB is used as a reference tool to find a starting point for vehicle prices, but the only way to really know how much they cost is going through multiple websites to see. I'd suggest scraping data from Cars.com, eBay Motors, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, Autolist, and Cargurus.

For a starting point I'd have it look at vehicles from 2012 or newer. This should prevent "classic" or newly collectible vehicles from spiking the data. Secondly, be aware that Craigslist prices on the front of the ad are often listed as fake numbers such as "0$" or "12345$" with the actual soft or hard price contained within the ad's body of text. Facebook Marketplace can be much worse about this, and much more manipulative with the number of fake listings, so check for duplicates or suspiciously low prices to prevent spiking the data. eBay Motors has a quirk shared with eBay, where they have both an auction price and a Buy It Now price. The only reliable way to gauge prices there would be using Buy It Now listings.
Amazing comment. Where did you learn about this?
Most likely the difference in performance is due to differences in expectations. The two greatest common failures I see repeated among software developers is:

1) The inability to consider diverse perspectives

2) The inability to differentiate writing instructions from building something larger

For example many developers cannot imagine the career requirements associated with other careers. That could be due to lack of experience diversity, poor empathy, or weak imagination.

Likewise, many developers cannot write original software. The very idea is frequently both horrifying and disgusting. The alternative is just a little help from a tool or framework, because they write instructions not applications. The interesting part of that is how people respond when confronted about it.
Well a die design, just like code, is definitely some form of intellectual property and covered by copyright law. So I think a more fair comparison would be a photo of an entire book.

I really, really want an option to disable read recipes display in rooms on Mobile. Just like on Desktop. Same goes for all the status messages (like joined/left). In general I miss some more customization options on Mobile.

And in general I‘d love to get rid of sending read recipes but I remember there being a whole discussion around that.
Yes, first thing I thought.
Superconductivity. I did four PhD projects regarding superconductivity properties at nanoscale without really getting hold on the concept. For instance, how zero resistance is related to cooper pair tunnelling and BdG Hamiltonian. Only when I was forced to write introduction a month before my thesis submission I gave my best last try for the farewell and it clicked. Note the title of my thesis “Quantum effects of superconducting phase” ;)

Quantum computers. I was so deceived by all the hype that it took me long to see it as SU(N) matrix product accelerator.

Zero knowledge proofs and Shamir transform to non-interactive protocol. The tunnel analogy did quite a harm to me, also the math was just unbearable (defining set of languages and etc). Only a year ago when I got an old paper on “Observational wallets” describing how to prove ‘log_g A = a’ and ‘log_g A = log_g B’ the whole ‘proving statement without revealing secret’ after long frustration and angst made sense to me. If I had encountered finding Vodo analogy first, It would have clicked much quicker to me.

No is the short answer to that one.
There are even machines in pubs and bars in the UK, which seems insane to me not being from here. Based on that and the dedicated gambling shops all over high streets, this sort of low-level gambling seems far more accessible in the UK than in many other western countries.
Nope.

But I had to fight like crazy to get them raises and promotions. I have to admit that I sometimes did less than I would have liked.

I was often instructed to reduce the positive scores of my employees. It was infuriating. They did good, they deserved praise, even with the best score possible, their raise would not have been that great.

I almost never got a good score, myself, but they also kept me for almost 27 years.
You can almost get this with CloudFlare. They have a domain registrar and free static HTML hosting that you can upload a ZIP file to or connect to Git.

> Blogs were awful. Lack of actual discussion

citation needed?

> just pontification and ultimately you curate your own list of (mainly) like minded blogs

is a curated list of fellow "leaders" pontificating on almost everything to blind "followers" helped by an opaque "algorithm" with the ability to block the "heretics" and direct their followers' hate against them, better?

notice the cultist terminology: leader, follower, heretic etc

> Give me a reddit thread anyday where some rando (whose blog I never would have followed) calls out the original post with differing thoughts/viewpoints

I am not advocating for blogs per se, but a reddit thread where "some rando calls out the original post" could have easily have been a thread of comments somewhere else that did not made money for reddit, but for the randos creating the actual content you are interested in

you are criticizing the presentation, but the actual meat (the value) is in the content.

> Sites like reddit/twitter broke me away from the trap of blogs by people with great credentials giving/polished public face giving them un-deserved authority over my thinking

sounds more like a your problem than a blogs problem honestly.

if you are assign authority to someone writing on the internet under fake credentials, it's not that it's written in a blog the issue IMO.

twitter and reddit (which are vastly different anyway both as kind of platform and as audience) made the problem worse, if anything.

> Reddit causes me to re-evaluate and change my positions regularly

again, good for you. but there's no inner quality of reddit that makes it especially good at that. I changed my mind a lot of times by reading books and when reddit was born I was already almost 30, so...

> Twitter makes me actively angry if I read replies, but it has also surfaced many interesting people who are deep thinkers with positions other than mine

replace the word Twitter with "internet" or "school" or "traveling or "hip-hop battles" and you'll find billions of people who had the same realization.

anyway, nothing that a good old BBS couldn't already do 40 years ago. It's where I discovered and then downloaded the Wolfenstein 3D demo.

To wrap it up: the question was "where could I follow X and Y if Twitter dies"?

The answer is: don't worry, Twitter eventually dying won't be an issue, they'll tell you where to follow them cause their status depends on it. You might as well ask them some money to follow them, they'll probably give it to you.
Lots of water and add in physical labor. If you can drink 1/2 gallon+ of water and sweat it out in the garden for 4 hours you will feel worlds better.
Yes. People should ignore them.

The thing about long-time Linux (on the desktop) users is that they've got so used to how bad it is, they think it's good.

Install Ubuntu/Mint/Pop/etc on a 3-4 year old laptop and.. Great, it probably works now! That is better than things were 10 years ago. It'll even connect with your Google account, etc. Wow! Looks slick.

Close the lid. Open it again. Hmm. Blank screen. Fans going crazy though. Wait a while. Hold down the power button, start it up again. Spend 3 hours googling and trying things (and in the process, 'sudo'ing all sorts of stuff which appeared to do nothing but may be breaking things even more). Give up. Try to remember to power down instead of expecting sleep/suspend to work.

Let's listen to some MP3's.. Oh.. Sound doesn't work!

Yay, sound works, unless it doesn't, in which case reboot. Good enough for now.

Time to do some actual work. Plug in a couple of monitors. Hm, resolutions are a bit weird, let's go and change those in the easy GUI config screen and whaaaAAAT?!

I don't think there's any need to go on.

> The military budget is more than the next nine countries combined

That's because it's more expensive to pay people in a wealthy nation than a poor one. 25% of the budget just goes to paying salaries. You are totally uninformed about what you're talking about, and beyond naïve to think that the US can just stop investing in defense and somehow end up in a more peaceful world. Please stop stoking ideological arguments, we are in a forum about technology.
> Are you a software developer in Brazil? I wonder if you're going to enjoy the regulation of the software developer profession. It's coming.

I think this is yet another pointless fearmongering anecdote, that shouldn’t be on this site. Anyway, I am a software developer that is in the market long enough to see that this sort of regulation thing is never going to materialise.

I know for a fact that investiment in scientific fields was reduced to near zero during Bolsonaro years and that for me is inadmissible.
Regarding Android, there is hardly any Linux on it besides the Linux kernel, which isn't exposed as stable API to Android's userspace.
I'm sure it does. For starters, it means that your newsletter probably has to come out on a consistent cadence. It probably also has to be fairly narrowly focused. Nothing wrong with wanting to monetize--though the sort of success mentioned upthread is almost certainly an outlier--but you're going to need to pick a topic area, have a marketing strategy, etc.

I didn't fully grok OOP until I saw how composition and dynamic dispatch can be used in real code to create abstractions and flexibly swap out different implementations for your interfaces.

You could build a chatbot that supports Discord, Slack, and IRC dynamically at runtime, or a web app that can use multiple different database engines, or a social network with multiple types of posts that can all be rendered in a main feed, or a bunch of other things. In all of these cases you can also take advantage of this kind of dynamic dispatch to inject mock objects for testing, as well as theoretically have an easier time swapping out a layer if you want to change a dependency.

What really frustrates me is that almost none of the OOP instruction I've encountered ever showed these kinds of real, practical examples. They always over-emphasize harmful inheritance-based approaches and never really explain composition. In college we learned about OOP by building a little text-based RPG thing with different types of monsters implemented as subclasses of an abstract base class, which left me feeling like there wasn't much practical use for it outside of game development.

It wasn't until my first internship that I saw a real-world use of OOP, in the form of a giant Spring Boot monolith with tons of dependency injection. Eventually, after staring at that for a few months, OOP finally clicked for me, but I still find it annoying that nobody ever tried explaining this using practical, small-scale examples.
Russia and China have been weponizing space for decades and they already have working hypersonic missiles.
Sorry, I meant notes associated with each site/password. Sometimes you want to record not only a site’s username and password, but also some extra data, so having a notes field comes in handy.
>If carriers were useless, China would not invest in them. But what does China know?

As you mentioned, carriers are good for dunking on low/mid tier powers that can be dismantled and then bombed on budget. Questionable if it's good for peer warfare with powers that can take out carriers.

And if you look at numbers, PRC is not really heavily investing/committing in carriers. 3 hulls over 10 years and ~50 J15s is very conservative relative to PRC MIC building prowess. For comparison, USN laid down and completed 4 Forrestal within 5 years. Nimitz was being launched every 3-4 years. Compare PLAN submarine fleet with huge tech gap that never the less commissioned many new hulls in same period because there's recognition that mass subsurface capability (and thus need to build up talent pool) is integral to future force composition.

IMO right now they're prestige projects used for peacetime "diplomacy" and building up carrier infra if PLAN ever decide to go super carrier power projection route. But it could just as well as be dead end trial/experiment with future oriented towards UCAV carriers like Type 76 and long range bombers like H20.

In 20-30 years, 100 B21s could probably drop cheap ordances more efficiently than carrier groups. IMO it will get hard to rationalize super carriers. But USNavy is a seperate branch with their own budget and desire to remain relevant, so US ends up with trillion dollar "presence" / photo ops platforms when the money could be best spent elsewhere.
Which is why feeless networks like Iota are interesting.
Thanks! Great points about leading with some of our own vulnerability as a way to create psychological safety. Refusing bad direction to protect the team is always hard, because it carries the burden of articulating how that protection is better for the company as a whole, which means politics and either CYA records or face saving flattery that is somewhat degrading for the manager to have to do. You sound like a good person to work with.
This is irrational pearl clutching. If sulfur is added, it will be done gradually, with the results monitored. There would not be some sort of catastrophic cooling.

The real sticking point would be that some countries would not want the cooling. Russia, say.

I look at recessions as being analogous with a bodybuilding cut cycle. You go through a bulking cycle to build muscle and to do so you consume a calorie surplus. Because it's difficult to tailor your macros precisely, you most likely put on a bit of fat at the same time. So after a period of bulking you undertake a cut cycle, where you burn off all the fat you don't want.

In economic terms, in the bulk cycle there's lots of resources sloshing around so it's easy to start a business, get finance and grow. Then in the cut cycle, the businesses that prove their value remain and we collectively dispense of the ones that don't.

Whilst it is healthy for the overall group, it's not much comfort for the individual humans on the losing end and we should probably do more to help them rebuild their lives afterwards.

Turns out this is only for the Team Plan, which seems far worse than the individual plan for individuals.
The only way to explore the subjective is through debate. The objective things are neither actually objective, or the most critical aspects of technology choices. Java was marketed as a silver bullet for portability, which appeared an objective fact to encourage adoption at the time; ultimately, this proved to be a red herring, as many other such promises do. If instead the culture had focused on the more subjective aspects of language choice, I think we would be a lot better off.
"The company wouldn't employ you if you weren't providing them more than you cost them."

Ah sweet summer child. Even if your 1st lvl logic would hold they would ditch you if your replacement + replacement cost was less than yours. But never mind. Companies have limited and wildly inaccurate information regarding your value and contributions. But even worse, "companies" do not make hiring/firing decisions, people do. And people have not only extreme irrational behaviors, but even when they act rational they act in their own interest, not "the company's", and the larger the company, the less causally aligned these interests are.
There are a lot of famous persons involved in the history of Smalltalk, without who we would have nothing to write about here.

Alan Kay was certainly the driving force, but let's not forget Dan Ingalls, Adele Goldberg, Ted Kaehler, Diana Merry, Scott Wallace, and Peter Deutsch (who is also the founder of Aladdin Enterprises and creator of Ghostscript) - and all others I forgot to mention here...

One other very important person related to this endeavor is Mario Wolczko, who ported Smalltalk 80 to the Perq workstation (his master thesis at Manchester University) and extracted and distributed the Smalltalk 80 VM image - see http://www.wolczko.com/st80/. Later, Mario worked on the SELF language (and many other projects, of course) at Sun Labs.

My take from reading the article is that they were able to make a cerebral organoid develop these eye cups. Until now they were either able to make a brain or the eye.

> In previous studies, only pure retinal cells or optic cups were grown in the lab individually. Jay Gopalakrishnan, an organoid expert at University Hospital Düsseldorf, and his colleagues used iPSC-grown mini brains to see if eye structures could develop as an integrated part of the organoid—instead of growing the two parts separately, Science Alert reports.
I've been doing advanced calisthenics for a few years now and have mastered some relatively advanced skills such as the one-arm pull-up, touch front-lever, handstand push-ups, and straddle planche. (I'm also a licensed PT in the UK but use the recommendations here at your own risk)

For beginners, if you are thinking of skills-based training I'd recommend focussing on 1-2 skills at a time and developing them (e.g., front-lever and handstand push-ups). A cool thing about calisthenics is that even the most advanced exercises start with simple progressions. Also, contrary to popular belief, you can develop a lot of muscle mass through body-weight exercises.

There are many great instructors out there, some I'd recommend off the top of my head are Simonster Strength, Eryc Ortiz, Gabo Saturno, Coach Sommer, and Victor Kamenov. Simonster has some really good tutorials for beginners as well as advanced athletes which I've used (https://simonsterstrength.com/project-calisthenics/ plus loads of great workouts on his insta/youtube).

In terms of split, there's a few common approaches like Push/Pull/Leg or Upper/Lower and unless you are doing supersets I'd recommend 3-5 exercises for 3-5 sets each with 2-3 min rest between sets. The number of reps/time under tension will depend on the exercise, your strength level, and your goals.

To give an example, a really simple split for beginners could be something like:

- Push Day: Warm up, Pseudo-planche Push-ups, Dips, Pike Shoulder Press, Plank, Side-Plank, Warm down, Stretch

- Pull Day: Warm up, Pull-ups, Tuck-front Lever Hold, Front-level Raises, Warm down, Stretch

- Leg Day: Warm up, Squats, Lunges, Hip Thrusts, Calf Raises, Warm down, Stretch

- Rest Day: Cardio or Light Stretching

Just go on youtube if you are unsure about any of the exercises. Also, feel free to use a band or look for easier progressions for any of the exercises and

Happy to answer any questions.
Townsend did not invent the use of animal poop as fertilizer, or the use of specific animal poops to fertilize specific crops, or rotating crops, or the even combination of the two, unless we completely ignore agricultural practices outside of Europe and pretend that all agriculture was invented in Europe.

But he didn't even invent the 4-year crop rotation system; that was already in use in Holland when he introduced it in England. (http://www.saburchill.com/history/chapters/IR/003f.html)

He was basically the Elon Musk of post-medieval agriculture: taking credit for the work of others because he marketed it (and himself) better than they did.
Indubitably, this speculation is based.
I think “most influential” is debatable. In the space of OO languages that found widespread adoption, more seem to be influenced by the Simula-C++ lineage (notwithstanding counterexamples like Objective-C and Ruby).
