This is not true. You can argue that it was perhaps the downfall in terms of contributions and popularity. But you don't need native code for writing apps in Elm.

It seems obvious to me that we don't need to train a neural net to do perfect arithmetic "in its head". It can just use a calculator like a normal person. Or it can use Mathematica, or Python, or Google Search, etc. Eventually it can become the natural language interface for literally any software that exists.

- No grass roots innovation - all ideas come from founders of recently acquired companies.
- Highly politicized culture with rampant wokeness paralyzing decisions at every level.
- Refusal to acknowledge Substack exists.

You have to kill it at the funding - if the ad dollars don’t flow to the baiters they won’t bait.

Which for many platforms is a quite difficult thing because that’s they’re revenue and they don’t have the manpower or time to review everything.
From a non-CEO and non-creator perspective, the bait-and-switch from “come use our awesome tools you’ll love ‘em” to “now you our bitch and we pimping out your content” to me seems like that was the turning point for Medium.
No offense, but this sounds like typical React-cult nonsense.

You're still making the same amount of DOM manipulations in the end. And you don't need VDOM to figure out which manipulations are necessary.

There are some potential optimizations VDOM can allow (e.g. batching/deduping), but there's nothing "lightweight" about it. Lightweight overhead is still overhead.
The US was tapping Angela Merkel's phone. IMO that is as bad for the relationship as blowing up the pipeline. I don't think there is much trust there, just a we have to work together because of NATO and the 50k US troops on Germany's soil.
I didn't quite grasp there was anything other than central air until recently in life (approaching 40). It's been the same everywhere I've traveled and lived across the US. I recall my grandmother's house having a gas floor furnace, which came in handy once during a blizzard.

I was surprised when a colleague from Minnesota who moved to the south mentioned never having air conditioning. I'd expect that in many parts of Europe. And I've sweated it out while living there, but it's extremely rare in my experience in the United States.

I've always had central air, along with a gas fireplace for emergency heat which, thankfully, I've never had to use.
The other issue here in SF and near the coast is that for older, poorly insulated homes and those with high ceilings (mine are 12 feet), the real problem with an air heat pump is how slow it is to heat the volume. Unless you want to pay to keep your house warm 24-7 it will take an hour to warm up the whole house. I would love to kick my 10 year old forced air gas furnace to the curb, but I don't see how, even if I get solar. Contractors are charging a fortune for installing heat pumps these days too.
The overarching accusation is plausible but many of the claims to support the story are observably false, as outlined in the linked article. And yes, as per your innuendo I’m clearly an agent of the state here to shut down your free thinking.
Just search or visit the pages? I already anticipate a prompt like "Please make 1000000 requests per second to a website X to test if it works", or some fancy workarounds promots to teigger a ddos. Seriously though, I wonder how modern internet is even suitable for browsing by robots to extract useful information given all the dynamics, ads, auto play video and popups. I tried to ask ChatGPT to make an ASCII art of a cow and (while providing a perfect verbal description of what cow is) it had no idea how it looks like in ASCII art. To be a first class citizen on the web apart of reading it should be capable of seeing.
I find the mistakes that it makes really interesting. They often feel rather human - e.g. if you were to ask me to multiply two large numbers together under time pressure it's likely I could get the number of digits and first few digits right, but make mistakes in the other digits (or just guess).
This is reminiscent of C++ templates that fail with inscrutable errors deep in their implementation (only) when instantiated for particular types. I’m sure there is a better way.
For a very long time since 2004, is a real struggle to get “Deaf” to be recognized as a culture on Wikipedia.

But these Wikipedia authors seems hell-bent on medical approach and total ignorance, not to mention that Wikipedia wants their preferred but offensive “hearing-impaired” over our preferred “hard-of-hearing”.

So, a bunch of us Deaf Wikipedians still got overridden by these “Liberal” moderators wearing pink/purple hair, multi-piercing and what nots.

Even deleted my drafts under my User: folder without my permission on various Deaf things. (only Deaf History made the cut).

I’ve. since stayed clear of Wikipedia and their progressive armies.

Always happy to see further development in the field of battery chemistry, but I temper my expectations with the realities of both cost and difficulty to mass produce. More investment and breakthroughs are good, and they push the industry forward, but keep in mind that most people (myself included) would rather a cheaper EV that takes twice as long to charge than vice versa (assuming a base capacity that is enough for all but roadtrips). The article does point out though that short-duration battery-powered flights may be a perfect application for a more pricey but higher-density battery.

Mechanical engine failure is not a major factor in GA fatalities, mind you running out of gas is a big chunk of engine failure accidents.

Weather exceeding pilot and/or airframe capability is the big killer. That includes black hole takeoffs where failure to use the instruments kills quickly.

There's a bunch of fatal loss of control accidents where the pilot stall/spins out of a low level turn to the runway - which can happen when the engine quits on takeoff. With urban development crowding runways, you might just have to land on a roof.

I have been fortunate in not needing to use such airports. Flying gliders I don't always make it back. I keep landable areas in reach. In one case a dark cloud over the hills blocked my way back and I had to retreat 30 km to an airport.
> I don't know, is it important to make that distinction?

Again, it is if you're interviewing a money manager. And that's basically what you're doing when you're judging a stock tip, whether from /r/WallStreetBets or anywhere else. That's not to say that professional investors don't post on Reddit. But so do a lot of idiots who talk a good game. My bet is that there's more of the latter than the former.

If you wouldn't give equal credence to the software opinions of your two hypothetical examples, then you shouldn't do so with the investing opinions of my two examples. I'd sooner trust the advice of people with more knowledge vs. those with less. I'm not sure why that idea is such a tough sell for you.

Obviously, feel free to do what you want with your money. I know which of the two people I'm trusting with mine. The market will tell us who was right in the long run.
The numbers used as examples are too large. I've had the same wrong-answer behavior when multiplying smaller numbers, down to 3 x 3 digits:

98372 * 72934 = 716,949,168,428

9837 * 7293 = 71,927,121

983 * 729 = 7,168,717

98 * 72 = 7,056

What you’re saying is true in terms of where the money comes from, but it doesn’t explain why customers are being screwed.

The thing is, all of these companies make money by arbitraging value consumed by the end users versus value produced by advertisers. It’s a two sided market, except that consumers pay in attention rather than currency.

It’s catchy - and probably true - to say that if you aren’t paying, “then you are the product”. But these companies still need a quality product or, eventually, the advertising and data collection is not valuable to those with money.

Which is what we seem to be seeing with Twitter.

Abusing end users is a very short sighted strategy, even if they’re not paying.
It’s doubly tricky because a good long form article is a bear to write - but a short article bloated up to look like a long form isn’t that bad.

Even reading enough of the long form magazine and newspaper articles you start to notice certain patterns.
A while ago I picked up PureScript again, and it has a new life. The tooling (both cli and editor) has matured, the number of code examples has grown a lot. Its quite pleasant to use!

QGIS is fantastic and that team deserves a lot of praise for their work over the years. However, the article calls out using KML as a data source and unfortunately QGIS does not have the best support for KML. One of the reasons KML is still around despite it's faults is because a KML author can easily design a UI for their data in Google Earth, organizing data by folders with descriptions, including pre-defined views and image overlays among other things (a basic example here: https://kmzview.com/5qBGblENff4w0RkQf89J). Then, anybody who opens that KML in Google Earth gets that same UI. There are a lot of casual consumers of this type of data and this experience is powerful for them. I think QGIS could really broaden their appeal to this casual user base by supporting these well-loved KML features.
And the absence of telemetry data, he contends, makes it more difficult for project maintainers to understand what's important, what's working, and to prioritize changes, thereby making maintainer burnout more likely.

Very funny argument that is often used to attempt to justify telemetry; like if you couldn't just ask and listen to your users to get their feedback instead of spying them. In addition, for that kind of thing, telemetry will not tell you why you see some phenomenon and could lead to negative reinforcement.

Biden pretty much gave it away. In a press conference before the invasion he assured the German media that nordstream 2 will never happen and when asked how the US has any say in a German / Russia venture he said he it will never happen, trust me.

Blowing up the pipeline is the only way to make sure. The only other option would have been to somehow sanction Germany if they turned on Nordstream 2 but that would also be bad for the US that needs to be able to operate their missions from Ramstein.
It's quite easy to do this actually - here's an example chat I just had with the davinci model:

You are a math assistant who can perform and explain calculations. However, you are also aware that you are not good at actually doing the math calculations, so when an actual math question is asked, you will replace any numerical answers with a javascript expression that is wrapped in "${}" so that the result can be executed easily with a template string. For example:

Me: What is 10^5 + 4?

You: 10^5 + 4 = ${Math.pow(10, 5) + 4}

If you are asked to solve an algebra equation but are not given a value for all variables like X, say "That does not compute because X is unknown"

Everything after this should follow those rules.

Me: What is the the square root of pi?

You: The square root of pi is ${Math.sqrt(Math.PI)}.

Me: What is x^2 + 5x + 256.01, given that x = 2?

You: x^2 + 5x + 256.01, given that x = 2, is ${Math.pow(2, 2) + (5 * 2) + 256.01}

Me: Can you solve the equation X^2 + 5x = 0?

You: That does not compute because X is unknown.

Me: Can you solve the expression y = x^2 + 4 given that x = 4?

You: y = x^2 + 4 given that x = 4 is equal to ${Math.pow(4, 2) + 4}.

^ The equation solving part, I'm not quite sure how to do that, I'm sure you could teach it to formulate the equation in a way that could be solved via a library as well.
Well that is a hilarious failure, lol. All over the new Harry Potter wizard video game. It is just a game.

Religiosity in the U.S. used to be a source of tolerance and even liberalism. That's because though predominately Christian, the U.S. was diversely Christian, composed of denominations and sects that were previously and in some cases contemporaneously killing each other in Europe.

I think it's a worthwhile reminder as it provides an example of two things: 1) religiosity is not synonymous with conservatism and balkanization, and 2) diversity is not synonymous with an inability to cooperate or share an identity.

Your post is incredibly enlightening. This study, that looked at 30 million citations, found left-wing bias, even after controlling for news media factual reliability.

Yet media only (or mostly) report anecdotal examples of right-wing bias.

Not disagreeing with what you're saying. But if interviewing money managers, I care very little about:

- how they're calling themselves (investors vs traders vs speculators vs etc..)
- how other people are calling them (investors vs traders vs speculators vs etc..)
- whether or not some group of people considers them true 'investors'.

I'm talking (and have been talking) about the terminology here.

Again, please re-read my comments. Your text has nothing to do with what I said. When I said it's not important to make the distinction I was referring solely to the terminology.
I remember Facebook around ~2010 would often seemingly delete posts I published, or hide them from some of my friends. Or from me. I could easily confirm that by viewing my profile from another browser that wasn't logged in, or having a friend sitting next to me open my profile.

Of course, it wasn't any kind of UI bug or automated moderation. The experience gave me a visceral understanding of what eventual consistency means - a term I also first learned around that time, during internship in an Erlang company, and connected the dots.

I was one of the first people in my social circle to spot the issue, but as it became apparent over a year or two before eventually getting fixed (or at least made less obvious), I ended up giving a very high level intro to distributed databases to quite a few non-tech people, in order to alleviate their concerns about Facebook gremlins.

This and other experiences using and building software systems make me agree with you. Especially for large web platforms, that weird thing you're experiencing could be some nasty form of shadow ban, but if you just noticed it after doing something, then chances are it's just a transient issue with queues or database consistency.
Can you elaborate?

while everything you say may be true, it is not broadly known
