I use generics all the time in my Go code, in particular with the exp/slices library and lo. I do not find it less readable. I think readability is subjective based on people's programming experience and familiarity with type systems.
Almost all Java ORMs are dynamically typed in the ways that matter. The "clunky codegen" method would be something like JOOQ, that actually checks your schema.
France is unusual both in its service culture and its attitude toward non-assimilated Americans.

There are a lot of marketplaces (trading platforms) for in-game items. This exists. I fully agree that NFTs don’t bring any benefit to the table, and that game companies won’t enable transferable NFTs.
I always wonder. When I had sex the first time I wanted to have it more. Why didn't America want to go to the moon again.

That would silence critics.

Can you point to the source? 'Game theory' is a huge field.
What's the difference between ad hoc labour and the gig economy?
Based on the article, his critique and analysis of in-game NFT usage was pretty shallow and not very technical. I think there would be many ways to synchronize blockchain NFTs into game items, make them disappear from the game (with some delay) when the NFT is transferred to someone else, etc. I can imagine there would be many practical problems to solve, but real critique should be based on how someone actually tried to implement all this and failed. Otherwise it's really just an imaginary strawman argument.
Twice in my career I've had recruiters call out my cover letter

Granted, one admitted "usually they're cookie cutter and I don't read them" before praising mine... but I like writing real cover letters because it's a second chance to consider why/how badly I want to work somewhere

I craft them to the company/problem space, call out specific areas of interest. And sometimes halfway in I realize I don't care what they do enough to continue writing, so I save everyone involved's time
I don't think Disney is really an adversary in this scenario (where an adversary is not purely economically transactional);

Club-33 and Disneys close, repeated ties with pedophiles (especially including the grooming of disney kids) indicate you are probably wrong, but I'll admit we are mostly working with inductive evidence on this.
Amusingly, I hate python.

Static typing is a tool I like. I don't think we have evidence that it is an obvious win. And I've bounced off of several typescript code bases hard. To the point that I currently hate typescript. Despite being impressed with some of its capabilities.

Which is again to say ymmv. Bad code is bad with or without static types.
In my experience most have standard equipment and some are so cost-driven they'll do anything to avoid any outlay whatsoever.
Not on Ubuntu, it prompts you when updates are available.
I think for that kind of setup you have to specify based on pixels directly rather than relative. I think the "-pos" argument and you give the coordinates. It creates one giant virtual display (it's always a rectangle) that can accommodate the total resolution of all your displays so you might have to do some math to get it how you want. You could also try one of the GUI front ends to make a config for you like arandr.
You could see they had free cash flow.

It's really weird that you think you can't decide who is responsible for dealing with a type of notification ahead of time without "endless politicking and horse-trading", but think that blasting everyone with every notification, then attempting to sort out responsibility after something has gone wrong will somehow not cause "endless politicking".

Again, this is something many businesses do already. They don't blast the whole company when a bank account balance is low, when a server's disk is full, etc, notifications are targeted to appropriate groups. The specifics about who gets what is going to vary based on your organization. I can't give you hard and fast rules that will work for every organization, but that doesn't mean it's somehow impossible or not worth doing.
I used to joke someone should make a better exchange mail client called ‘Lookout’.

Current discussions of AI is novel because they now show emergent behaviours.

Reductionist view on humans are still incorrect, but what changed is that AI are viewed with non-reductionist views.

Nobody takes Chomskian views of 'AIs will never be intelligent as they are just statistical parrots' seriously anymore.
Then do said survey? Find empirical evidence and share it.

My experience, sadly, is the louder a dev on the team is about either dynamic or static typing, the more likely that dev's code is something nobody else in the team wants to work with.
I've never claimed to be a good computer programmer. But I am one.
> "Must have had been" is simply wrong; in your examples, it should always be "must have been".

As a matter of prescription, maybe, but as a matter of description? I think it's interesting. It is meaningful and it's something that English speakers produce. Here are other examples in the wild:

"To complete the request, the owner of the permit must have had been present at the time the citation was written, present a valid permit to the Tax Collector in person, have a copy of their citation, and pay a $7.50 processing fee to the Tax Collector if approved."

"Lankeshwar must have had been easy to defeat compared to new-age Ravanas."

It can even have a distinct meaning (rather than just being a variation), which is how I would interpret it. Which I think is cool.

It's perfectly fine to say "don't use this construction if you want to be taken seriously by so-and-so", but if its usage happens to be dialectal, for example, I don't think you can say those speakers are using their dialect of English incorrectly.

We are anthropomorphizing NPCs in video games for decades - it's ok.
worse program readability is not a true con. Any codebase can have positive or negative code quality, generics do not make this worse.

In fact, it can improve readability and maintainability in some cases instead of having multiple structs copy pasted everywhere.
247 square miles of surface area is tiny? Less than at capacity certainly but still significant.

I’ve been through 4 layoffs over 22+ years. In my experience, it is the managers who are the most vulnerable and the individual contributors who are the least vulnerable.
Nominal wages are a part of inflation, so there's nothing about the inflation rate that inherently changes real wages. If all components of inflation increased uniformly, purchasing power would stay constant. Inflation is only a drag to the extent that it's surprising.

However, there seems to be a relationship between inflation and unemployment. It's been cloudy, but the hypothesis is that low unemployment causes higher inflation. I further conjecture that sustained low unemployment flattens the income curve, leading to higher real wages at the low end.

Regardless, low unemployment is a good thing in its own right.
It’s a bit too late for that. At least you know you can safely ignore anything with that label.
How do you count?
Any one have the actual study, esp how the questions are phrased and data on which students responded? Or what other questions did not have an exciting answer and so not reported on?

"Most students who responded to a survey about free speech" suggests there may be a biased sample.

"UW-Stout's Menard Center for Public Policy and Service ... The Menard family, a major Republican donor that founded the Menards home improvement store chain, donated $2.6 million to the center in 2019" maybe suggests there might be bias to the intent of the research too.
Depends on the conference. I remember back in the day early 2000s Microsoft conferences they were not allowed to even mention or use Google.
Right, short of a small reactor onboard, it seems unlikely to be able to store the energy or power densities required while in flight. Obviously there may be some unknown breakthrough that allows it...but I'm skeptical.

You don’t get it man. The counter culture is cool, hip and trendy and I’m a cool, hip and trendy kind of guy. I’m part of the counterculture, and I’m not part of 4chan, so obviously they’re not counterculture.

The fact that my views align much closer than theirs with many mainstream political parties, almost all of academia, most major media outlets and most major corporation’s stated values is because they all are also part of the counter culture now.

There’s literally no way that an awesome, too cool rebel like myself somehow became part of the mainstream instead of the hip and trendy counter culture movement.
They probably knew it was a rube goldberg contraption but were hoping to make the Soviets waste resources trying to copy it, and then accidentally ended up getting it to work.
Automation was followed by a reduction in the price of goods. Probably too early to show up in Netflix's subscription price, and of course to keep growing profit there's no guarantee that any user of artistic automation (artomatics?) will drop prices at all.

Let's note that the use of computers for modeling and illustration instead of ink and hand has already made things possible that were too expensive before. We've already started down the path, though this was an industrial-sized leap.

Art has had an element of creative desire on the part of the artist for ages, and seeing your potency replaced by a robot is not going to go well emotionally.

No, he doesn't connect anything, that's why he has his own projector and cables. And if he did, most companies would be much more concerned about the risk they present to company networks.
With today’s fireplaces I think there is very little harm from smoke or pollution. Newer models are down to 1gram / hr of smoke and burning wood is carbon neutral for those that care about that part.

Nothing nicer than an indoor fireplace when it’s cold outside. The fact that it might help with degrading eyesight is a win.
Sad to see the long risky bets getting cut.

Excess perks, I don't care about. I can buy my own drinks and coffee. But a company that isn't taking bigger and bigger risks is a company that is at risk and just ignoring it.
There's another good explanation, The US didn't want to flush the investment in Apollo entirely. The space shuttle was conveniently expensive enough and on paper sustainable enough to keep the space program alive. In hindsight, there is limited evidence that private companies would have been competitive with the space shuttle in the 1970s.

I think I agree. Although, aren’t all employees cost centers for their companies at some level?

For example, companies would choose cheaper employees for the same output, if possible, even if they are responsible for a lot of revenue.
For local businesses, direct mail, signage, and door to door is still totally an option.
Oh, that makes sense. I have other gay friends that express the same concern privately. In my country (no gay rights yet; it just got decriminalised) I tend to say that "the best gay pride protest is no gay pride protest", because if we have equal rights, there's no need to protest, and we just want equal rights.

They do the same with Edge, I never understood why they care so much if people use their chromium fork instead of the normal one.

At the same time they're also making it user hostile with all the suggested offer crap so I'm sure it won't get much marketshare. Normally the idea is to wait with this hostile monetisation until you have the marketshare lol.

My experience is the opposite, oddly. Middle management is at risk, sure. But upper management is not. Upper level contributors, though? Same risk as lower level contributors.
It’s not not about HyperCard. A HC product is definitely more “hypermedia” than JSON. Granted there are no clients which can use it (I’m sure there’s some esoteric exception, but meh).
Benefit to that is you are training the next generation. Do research on your own, good, but have ten grad students working for you and you can basically multiply your output by ten. Note, the grad students a majority of the time won't be able to do the research without your advice, this is just a fact; there are exceptions but that's just how it is the majority of the time.
I have personally flown from Seattle to Hawaii on a 737 MAX. That is 2320nmi. So no, the ETOPS limit is not 200nmi. There's nothing between the west coast and Hawaii but water. You can see AS853 is a nearly straight line from Seattle to Honolulu. If any of that deviation is for ETOPS it is minor.

ETOPS is time based, not distance based. The 777 has been approved by the FAA for ETOPS-330, which is 330 minutes of flight time to the nearest airport on one engine.

The 737 MAX is ETOPS-180, so it only has to be within 3 hours of a suitable airport when running on one engine.

I'm not sure why you're trying to pigeonhole my world view into a dice roll example. The core point I'm making is that something doesn't become "not a risk" just because you didn't fail.

If we're talking about the dice roll example, just because your rolled a six, it doesn't mean that rolling specifically a six wasn't more unlikely than rolling a number from 1 to 5. Which means that if you planned (either explicitly or implicitly) on things working out in a way equivalent to rolling a 6, then your plan was risky.

Everything we spend money on has a price that is set by what we are willing to pay collectively. Just because you don't want to pay the price doesn't mean it's not the right price.

It's a bit amusing that we find any price objectionable considering this ChatGPT experience didn't even exist a few months ago!
And these days MS and Apple are pretty good at making the process pretty transparent. I don't remember ever updating my Apple Watch, it's just up to date. Presumably updated over night, Windows is mostly the same.
Would love to try this, it would get so confused in our technical meetings that use internal code words and obscure jargon.
The trinary states of Drupal access control: allowed, forbidden, neutral
funnily, I was whispered that exact same thing when I was doing internal interview rounds for a big tech company before the 2008 recession. The group of newly hired heard pitches from a bunch of different groups that needed people and we were able to have some say into which group we joined. I took the advice to heart and went with the group that was considered by most employees to be the most sure thing and, by far, the most solid financially. 2 years later, that group's position in the market cratered and the layoff axe fell on a large percentage of people. I still don't disagree with your advice, but it is often hard to predict what will still be a business viable group in the future.

Cost center / profit center paradigm shouldn't be applied to companies like Google who hire engineers just to possess them. The whole company except for ads is basically a highly-paid cost center.
Github's CI is a fine way to build binaries.

Github's CDN is a fine way to host binaries in a highly available manner which is also not easy to tamper with.

GitHub's project page gives instant access to source code, and to a rich README.

I don't see how Github in this regard is any worse than npm or pypi.

What I would appreciate is a way to sign binaries the same way commits are signed, attesting that it was built from a particular commit, and a particular state of dependencies, by a compiler isolated from the internet. GitHub's CI runner might sign it with some private key, while a public key to check signatures would be available from github.com.

Of course that would require some cooperation from code authors, but for important code that should be manageable.

Ironically bringing back the dodo is about humans and nostalgia (plus a little touch of marketing for this c comoany). Dodos are another consumer product, essentially.

I really preferred WSL1 because it was lower overhead and more integrated. It was really like managing Windows through gnu tools. WSL2 is just a VM and I don't care about kernel compatibility.

My limited viewpoint is over 20 years in higher education and experiencing reforms over the years. I’m not an expert in these matters and never claimed to be one. Nor have I given an impression of being an authority.

It is common for people to make conclusions on topics based on their experience and what they’ve read. We all do this since none of us can possibly fully research all topics. In my first post I specifically declared that I have no expertise on these matters. I think this topic is an emotional one for you and this is clouding your interpretation of what I have written.

I’ve encountered people like you at the various colleges I’ve taught at. You make it hard to have discussions regarding uncomfortable ideas. Such is not befitting of a person with your apparent intellectual capabilities.

The only strong assertion that I’ve made is that some people can’t learn college algebra. If you can find a severely mentally disabled person who has learned college algebra then please present your evidence. I suggest you are part of the problem in education. If we can’t acknowledge even the obvious (namely that not everyone can learn every topic) then we will continue the trend of dumbing down standards and curriculum and just passing people through the system in a misguided approach to educational equity.

There is no built-in support for writing your styles alongside your JSX the way Vue and Svelte have. Both provide automatic component style scoping, escape hatches, deep selectors, etc. Vue passes classes given to a component instance into the top level element of that component. All of this makes styling with plain CSS and SCSS 1000x easier than it is in React.

Then there is the template side of things where it is much easier to read a basic conditional or loop in Vue/Svelte for someone who doesn't know JS.

How much have you used Vue or Svelte? It is a significantly better developer experience for building HTML and styling it because it doesn't force everything to be written in JS. In React JS is the only first-class language. There is no built-in support for SFCs, style scoping, etc. Thus the awfulness of CSS-in-JS was born.

there's no "some" in post-scarcity - it's either for all, or we aren't in a post scarcity society.
